🌍✨ Happy World Soil Day! ✨🌍

At Coastal Roots Farm, we believe that healthy soil is the foundation for a thriving planet and community. By practicing regenerative agriculture, we’re restoring the soil, capturing carbon, and taking meaningful action on climate—because nourishing people also means caring for the planet.

We invite you to join us in this crucial work!

With the year coming to a close, your donations are more important than ever. Every contribution helps us continue our mission to provide healthy food to those facing food insecurity and to cultivate a more sustainable future for all.

Let’s work together to ensure that our soil—and our community—thrives! 🌱❤️

Thank you San Diego Union-Tribune for featuring our Farm Camp program, where Pre-K-5th grade "farmers-in-training" explore nature, food, and their role in taking care of our precious planet.

At the Farm, we're not just growing food using regenerative farming practices and feeding neighbors most in need, we're growing young leaders into tomorrow's environmental stewards.

At Coastal Roots Community Farm in Encinitas, kids at Farm Camp get lessons in sustainable agriculture, Jewish values and more.

Let’s keep the momentum “growing!”

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we “squashed” our Giving Tuesday goal and raised more than $83,000 toward our $200,000 year-end goal!

Thank you for supporting people, planet, and a healthier tomorrow. Together, we are growing a future where everyone thrives.

Every dollar plants the seeds for a brighter future, providing fresh, nutrient-dense produce to families facing food insecurity, teaching the next generation about environmental stewardship, and uplifting Jewish life and values.

Our campaign continues through December 31st. Your gift goes twice as far thanks to a generous dollar-for-dollar match. Help us turn $200,000 into $400,000. Make a donation to double your impact today.

Our everyday work caring for people and the planet is not possible without the generosity of donors like you. Your gift ensures we can:

🍴Feed the most vulnerable community members with nutritious, locally grown food.

🌿Educate and empower more young people—our future climate activists.

🌎Fight climate change by reducing carbon emissions with regenerative farming practices.

🤝Uplift Jewish life for people of all backgrounds, fostering connection and shared values.

This Black Friday, instead of filling your cart, consider filling a plate. 🌱 Join us in the mitzvah of Tikkun Olam—helping to repair the world by giving back to those in need. Donate Today: https://coastalrootsfarm.org/year-end-appeal-2024/

With just around the corner, we hope you will help us reach our goal to raise $1,500 on social media to feed 50 families facing food insecurity (this will be added to our larger campaign goal of $200,000!) Every $30 donation provides a family with fresh, nutrient-dense produce for an entire week—and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

Today, we’re sowing seeds of gratitude. 🌱

We’re thankful for our Farmily—staff, volunteers, community partners, and donors—who make this place a thriving community.

As we gather around the table, we recognize both the joy and gratitude of this day and the complex history it represents. Many of the foods we associate with Thanksgiving – corn, squash, beans, and more – come from Indigenous communities who have cultivated and shared these staples for generations.

Today and every day, we honor this legacy and give thanks to the land so are so privileged to steward. 🍂🧡

For People and Planet 🌍💚

At Coastal Roots Farm, we’re growing nutrient-rich, organic produce with regenerative practices that put the earth first! 🌱 Why? Because regenerative farming builds healthy soil, boosts biodiversity, and ditches harmful chemicals – all for a thriving ecosystem! 🌾✨

We believe food should be medicine for people and planet. Fresh, nutritious food should be a right, not a privilege for those with means. Through our food distribution and Pay-What-You-Can Farm Stand, we ensure everyone has access to the healthy food they need.

Want to be part of this movement? We're raising $200,000 before December 31st. Every donation - whether $5 or $500 - is being matched! Drop us a DM to learn how you can help nourish people and protect our planet!

At Coastal Roots Farm, we’re not only feeding our community - we’re cultivating a sustainable future. 🌎✨

In San Diego County, where over 1 in 4 face food insecurity, access to fresh food is essential but too often out of reach. That’s why we grow nutrient-dense, organic food for those who need it most. We feed over 45,000 community members annually, donating the vast majority to neighbors in need.

By practicing regenerative agriculture, we’re restoring the soil, capturing carbon, and taking meaningful action on climate—because nourishing people also means caring for the planet. Our climate crisis demands innovative, earth-friendly practices, and we’re spreading the word to over 10,000 youth – the next generation of responsible land stewards – who visit the Farm each year.

All of this is guided by Jewish values like Arevut, the belief that we are all responsible for one another. Jewish tradition reminds us that Adam (human) and Adamah (land) are interconnected and that caring for our community and earth go hand-in-hand. We invite everyone to engage in this wisdom, building a thriving Jewish community and welcoming people of all backgrounds.

Join us this season to Nourish Community—supporting people, planet, and a healthier tomorrow. Donate today and together, we can grow a future where everyone thrives. All donations will be matched up to $200,000. Double your impact today!

At Coastal Roots Farm, we practice regenerative agriculture and farm from "seed to harvest."

We choose high quality, organic seeds that are resilient within our ecosystem.

Some crops grow best when seeded directly into the ground, while others thrive when started as seedlings in a warm, protected propagation house.

With these seeds, we grow 80,000+ pounds of food for 45,000+ people each year.
