About the Farm Stand
The Coastal Roots Farm Stand in Encinitas offers fresh, seasonal, certified organic vegetables, herbs, fruit, flowers, and eggs every week. Everything is grown with sustainable farming practices that care for both people and the planet, rooted in generations-old Jewish agricultural traditions.
Our Farm Stand is open to everyone—welcoming community members of all backgrounds and identities. It’s more than a place to shop—it’s a social enterprise supporting food justice, community wellness, and climate-smart agriculture.
Fresh, Organic Produce for All
The Farm Stand is pay-what-you-can, ensuring that no one is ever turned away due to inability to pay. Community members are encouraged to contribute what they can to support the Farm’s mission.

At Coastal Roots Farm, we use regenerative techniques to grow 60+ varieties of seasonal crops to provide a diversity of nutrient-dense foods for the community.
While we can forecast what to expect from season to season (e.g. cucumbers in the summer, beets in the winter), we cannot predict with certainty which crops will be available on a specific Farm Stand day.
We also donate over 70% of our harvest to San Diegans facing food insecurity and allocate crops to meet these off-site distribution commitments in addition to making them available to the public. Read more about who we serve.
We are grateful for your understanding and encourage customers to shop with an open mind to discover how our weekly harvest can inspire your recipes of the week!
Here at Coastal Roots Farm, we are inspired by Jewish agricultural values such as “Kayamut” (ecological sustainability) and “Bal Tashchit” (responsible resource use). Our compost operations are designed to divert waste from the landfills, limit our ecological footprint, and replenish the soil that grows our food, helping us to live out these important values. To date, we have diverted 3.2 million pounds of waste from the landfill through our various composting enterprises.
We invite you to join us in our commitment to sustainability by participating in our “Food Waste to Animal Feed” compost program. Bring your (non-dairy, non-meat, non-citrus) food scraps to our compost bins located by the entrance gate of our Farm Stand.
There are many ways to experience Coastal Roots Farm! While we are not open to the general public, we offer many programs and events including our Nature Play, Farm Camp, After School on the Farm, Farm Tours, Field Trips, Birthday Parties, Community Events, Host Your Event, Volunteering, Internships, and other events. We hope to see you at an upcoming event or program!
