Farm Film and Music Series – San Diego: America’s Wildest City Screening

Join Coastal Roots Farm for an evening of community, live music, and transformative storytelling. Part of our 5-part Farm Film & Music Series, this event invites guests to gather under the stars and engage in inspiring dialogue about regenerative agriculture, environmental justice, and the future of our food systems.

This screening will feature “San Diego: America’s Wildest City.” San Diego is an oasis at the intersection of hostile worlds: the dividing line between the Mojave Desert to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West; the Sierra Mountains to the North and Mexican border to the South. Meet the diverse array of wildlife thriving incongruously in a transformed landscape of manmade wilderness. From the dramatic rituals of grebes and the playful antics of ground squirrels to the thrilling hunts of orcas and the moonlit spawning of grunion, witness nature’s resilience and beauty amidst the urban sprawl. 

Homegrown ArtBeat (HART)

Homegrown ArtBeat (HART) is an immersive, one-night celebration of San Diego’s creative heartbeat. It is not just an art show—it’s a living, breathing experience of San Diego’s creative pulse.

We invite you to step into the variety and vibrancy of San Diego’s art scene—not as a spectator, but as part of it. Through painting, photography, sculpture, textile arts, interactive performance, and live music, the event reveals how deeply art lives in our everyday surroundings, often unnoticed. We live among artists, stories, and expression every day. This night is about making that visible—so you leave not just inspired, but more awake to the creative richness around you all the time.

Date: Saturday, September 6, 2025
Time: 5:00 – 7:00 PM

They start with The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor, and Cream. The quartet includes Leonard Patton doing vocals, Danny Green on piano, Mackenzie Leighton on bass, and Peter who plays a one-of-a-kind double neck guitar. The vibe is contagious!
