Coastal Roots Farms

Organization Description

Coastal Roots Farm is a community farm that integrates the practices of Jewish tradition and sustainable agriculture to grow and share healthy food, care for the land, and help and strengthen connections between neighbors. Through hands‐on educational experiences and produce donations to neighbors that need it most, the Farm is fostering a vibrant and sustainable community that grows, seeds, and shares.Coastal Roots Farm consists of mixed gardens, an orchard/food forest, animal pastures, and a vineyard, all in various stages of development. The Farm was incubated by the Leichtag Foundation and was recently spun off as a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Coastal Roots Farm is funded through a diverse revenue mix, including philanthropic partners and social enterprise.

At Coastal Roots Farm, we rely on volunteers and strive to provide meaningful and fun volunteer opportunities throughout each week for our community. Tasks may include: weeding, mulching, planting, harvesting, bed prep, recording produce weights, and packing bags for distribution sites. Volunteers will learn tangible skills in growing and/or distributing organic produce to the community.
