What do you benefit most from being a member of NCPC?
Coastal Roots Farm is grateful for the opportunity to network with, learn from, and work beside other nonprofit professionals in the region!
What do you offer to the community?
Coastal Roots Farm is a nonprofit Jewish community farm and education center where we practice organic farming, share our harvest with those who lack access, deliver unique farm-based educational programs, and foster inclusive spaces for people of all backgrounds to come together to connect, learn, and celebrate in ways that catalyze a more vibrant community.

Farm programs are designed to meaningfully benefit the land and the community, from improving the fertility of the Farm’s soil and supporting biodiverse ecosystems, to making sure low-income families have equal and dignified access to fresh, nutrient-dense foods, and providing quality educational opportunities. We seek to foster a healthier community and a more sustainable environmental future for our region.

What was your organization/company’s biggest accomplishment in the past six months/one year?
In the last year we distributed 58,177 pounds of organic nutrient-dense produce and eggs to vulnerable members of our community. This was a 35% increase over the prior year and more than 15,000 pounds above our initial goal for the year!

What event/program or campaign do you have coming up that you would like to share with our readers?

  1. “Nourish your Neighbor” $100,000 Year-End Appeal (November 24-December 31)
    Prior to COVID-19, 1 in 7 San Diegans did not have enough food. Now, 1 in 3 San Diego households is facing hunger. Coastal Roots Farm’s Year-End Appeal enables us to continue stewarding our land while serving as a critical access point for fresh, organic, nutrient-dense food for marginalized community members whose needs are higher than ever. We’re raising $100,000 to provide 25,000 pounds of produce to 6,000 local families in need. Join us by sharing this opportunity with those in your community, or donate to Nourish your Neighbor today.
  2. Upcoming Virtual Mini-Film Screening and Panel (Wednesday, December 2 from 4-5pm)
    TODAY is the official release of our new mini-film “With Heart and Soil, Nourishing Community from the Ground Up.” Join us from 4-5pm to learn about the Farm’s approach to regenerative agriculture and for a panel discussion featuring our expert farmers and moderated by KUSI’s Ginger Jeffries.
