When harvests are abundant, our partnerships help When harvests are abundant, our partnerships help us go further! 🌾💚

In Q2, we donated 72% of our Farm’s yield — reaching under-resourced families at 12 schools from Escondido to Solana Beach through amazing partners like @plusboxcares. These partnerships allow us to expand our reach during high-yield periods, deepening our impact while staying rooted in our mission to serve priority populations with dignity and care.

Here’s our Post-Harvest & Distribution Manager, Garth, delivering fresh produce to @plusboxcares — later packed and served to students at Oceanside High School!

Experience Shavuot at Coastal Roots Farm!📖🌅 Experience Shavuot at Coastal Roots Farm!📖🌅

Shavuot isn’t just about receiving the Torah - it’s also a celebration of the earth’s abundance and our deep-rooted connection to land, spirit, and community. In ancient times, this holiday marked the bringing of bikkurim - the first fruits of the harvest - to Jerusalem, a sacred act of gratitude and reconnection.

📅 Sunday, June 1 @ 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
📍Coastal Roots Farm
🎟️ FREE event!

This year, Coastal Roots Farm and @templesolelsd invite you to Plant, Prepare, Pray - a joyful, soulful, and modern reimagining of bikkurim. Join us as we wander through the Food Forest, explore hands-on activities and Jewish learning, and gather in meaningful reflection.

This experience is designed for teens and adults (ages 14+) who are interested in deepening their relationship with the earth, Jewish tradition, and their own symbolic first fruits. People of all faith backgrounds—or none—are warmly welcome.

Come celebrate Shavuot with us for free at Coastal Roots Farm! Register via link in bio.

#ShavuotOnTheFarm #JewishTradition #CoastalRootsFarm #PlantPreparePray
Yesterday we recognized the Jewish holiday of Yom Yesterday we recognized the Jewish holiday of Yom Ha’atzmaut, which marks the establishment of the State of Israel. At Coastal Roots Farm, we honor the Jewish people’s deep ancestral connection to the land of Israel—a place where core agricultural values and practices such as Shmita (the sabbatical year calling for the land to rest) and Peah (leaving the corners of one’s field for those in need) were first practiced and embedded into Jewish tradition.

These teachings, shaped by the rhythms of that land and the Jewish calendar, inform and inspire how we practice agriculture at Coastal Roots Farm. 

As we farm regeneratively here in Encinitas, we draw on those ancient values to uplift the enduring wisdom that connects people, land, and justice across time and place.

The @sdfoodbank , the county’s only provider of The @sdfoodbank , the county’s only provider of the Emergency Food Assistance Program (EFAP), recently learned that 1.85 million pounds of food will not be delivered due to federal cuts — food that would have supported over 90,000 people in our region.
 
As the Food Bank works to fill this gap, local hunger relief organizations like @plusboxcares , @sandiegocrc, @projectnewvillage, @producegood, @foodshed.coop, @coastalrootsfarm, and many other organizations are already seeing increased demand from neighbors seeking support.
