Healthy Works is a component of the County of San Diego's "Live Well, San Diego! Building Better Health" initiative, a 10-year strategic vision for improving health and wellness and combating the toll of chronic diseases, including obesity. Healthy Works engages San Diego County residents, businesses, and community leaders in systems and environmental approaches such as farmers' markets, community gardens, bike-to-school and work programs, school exercise and nutrition programs, as well as changes involving land use and transportation. Healthy Works creates "Paths to Healthy Living."

When you buy food for your family, where does your money go?

Does it catch the first flight out of town, headed for some distant corporate bank account?

Or does it settle in and become a part of the local economy, help make your community stronger.

When you buy local in San Diego County, home of six thousand farms, you're making a deposit into the place you call home.

Shop fresh. Buy local. Support San Diego, Born and Raised.
