Our Mission Statement

Love, Linda Vista Inc. is a non-profit founded on the principles of showing the diversity that makes up this historic neighborhood of Linda Vista in San Diego, California

Love, Linda Vista Inc. proudly celebrates the heritage of this historically minority community that is made of Black, Latino, Asian American Pacific Islanders

Love, Linda Vista Inc.'s mission is to continue to create more local community events and experiences to enhance Linda Vista's strong community spirit by working in partnership to bring together local San Diego businesses and organizations* to the residents of Linda Vista

Love, Linda Vista Inc.'s proudly supports beginning its mission with the revival of The Linda Vista Farmers' Market, which intentionally welcomes and celebrates farmers and vendors from diverse backgrounds. Love, Linda Vista Inc. incorporates all partnerships listed below within the farmers' market to provide free services for residents and visitors to the Linda Vista neighborhood

The Linda Vista Farmers' Market is where civic and community engagement flourishes with learning about our community and where local San Diego County Certified Farmers can gather to sell fresh produce directly to residents and visitors alike

The Linda Vista Farmers' market is a space for unique micro enterprises owned by
local residents to share their talents of handmade crafts, providing access to locally sourced goods and making diverse foods

Love, Linda Vista Inc. will begin incorporating free events throughout Linda Vista as we move forward with our mission with love and care for the Linda Vista community
