California Rare Fruit Growers

A membership of like-minded fruit enthusiasts dedicated to: 

  • Growing fruiting plants that may or may not be commonly found in the San Diego County area.

  • Sharing information about fruits potentially adaptable to the San Diego  area and varieties of established fruit better suited to specific areas and growing conditions.


  • Exchanging seeds, cuttings, scion wood, and plants with each other, primarily for home use/growing.

  • Following all federal, state, and county agricultural regulations.

Please note: As of October 19, 2024, if your "regular membership" had lapsed and was unpaid for all of 2024 or earlier and you did not renew at our recent plant sale, we have now archived your existing contact information - and our newsletter will cease email delivery.
Lapsed "family memberships" with more than one member have not been archived yet, but everyone should renew their dues for 2025 on or before 1-1-2005
If you cannot login - you'll probably need to contact a CRFG administrator to be reinstated in order to renew for the calendar year 2025.
Need help? Contact: crfgsecretary@gmail.com 
WE DO WANT YOU BACK!
Everyone else who is current for 2024 should consider renewing their CRFG membership on or before January 1, 2025 for the 2025 calendar year.


Please also note: If you have had - or are having financial difficulties or have been unable to afford - even our lowest local annual fees, please let us know. This might apply to students, seniors, families or others - who may be in need. Our board can approve a temporary exemption for various personal reasons, but you do need to ask.
