Virtual Holiday Gift Auction Benefits Cross-Border Region

Join Berry Good Food for its online Holiday Gift Auction on November 19-23, 2020, and bid on unique, one-of-a-kind items whose proceeds will benefit sustainable food programs in San Diego and northern Baja, including notable artwork, high-end fashion accessories, hotel stays, a 2-day chauffeured food and wine tour in the Valle de Guadalupe, and much more.

Established in 2015, Berry Good Food (BGF) is a nonprofit organization that aims to tackle the barriers—educational, economic, systemic, infrastructural—standing between people and local, sustainably produced food in the cross-border agricultural region that provides nutrient-rich food for so many. Part of BGF’s mission is to partner with like-minded organizations to deepen the reach and impact of our shared goals.

In 2019 BGF worked with ProVino and Baja Wine + Food, a bespoke travel service, to help raise funds and provide tools for the wine valley’s volunteer fire department after a particularly devastating fire season.

In 2020, after learning that BGF had built an edible garden at Baja’s Enrique C. Rébsamen elementary school, ProVino identified a need for a similar garden at the Niños de Baja orphanage when it was delivering care packages during Covid-19. Their joint efforts led to the recent completion of a children’s garden that will provide education and sustenance for years to come.

Support the continuation of these cross-border efforts and join us for the virtual Berry Good Food Holiday Gift Auction (berrygoodfood.org/auction), beginning at 12pm PST on November 19 and running until 7pm PST on November 23, 2020.
