Tu B’Shvat Food Forest Festival 2026

Tu B’Shvat Food Forest Festival 2026

Step into Coastal Roots Farm’s vibrant Food Forest and enjoy opportunities for all ages to dig into the soil and nurture the land. Rooted in Jewish tradition, Tu B’Shvat is known as the Jewish New Year or birthday of the trees, and honors the vital role trees play in our lives.

Trees not only provide us with food and shade but also inspire, comfort, and sustain us, spiritually and physically. Let’s celebrate them!

Tu B’Shvat Food Forest Festival 2024

Discover the enchanting world of interconnectedness at Coastal Roots Farm’s 9th Annual Tu B’Shvat Food Forest Festival.

Jewish tradition teaches that everything exists in relationship: we don’t exist in isolation but rather as part of a larger, interconnected whole. This year’s theme “Together we Grow” reminds us of the profound power of this connection. Every relationship, whether between people and plants, creatures and culture, is greater together than the sum of its parts.

Tu B’Shvat Food Forest Festival at Coastal Roots Farm

Coastal Roots Farm invites you to our annual Tu B’Shvat Food Forest Festival!

Our Food Forest Festival this year focuses on the 7 Sacred Species (wheat, barley, dates, figs, grapes, olives, and pomegranates).

Not only do these crops produce delicious food, but they are also thought to contain a special holiness, reminding us to be thankful for the goodness of our land.

Join us for this family-friendly event!

Date: Sunday, January 20 from 10am-2pm

Details: Celebrate the Jewish New Year of the Trees by planting over 100 trees, doing hands-on activities including DIY soap, jewelry, energy balls, and flatbread, learning sessions, Food Forest and vineyard tours, cooking demos, and playing in the Kids Zone with crafts, a petting zoo, a story walk, and the opportunity to become Jr. Ranger.

Location: 800 Ecke Ranch Rd.
