Coastal Roots Farm

Coastal Roots Farm grows certified organic produce using regenerative techniques guided by Jewish agricultural values. It builds soil organic matter by rotating crops and chickens, planting diverse varieties, and producing its own compost on-site, practices it describes as sequestering carbon, conserving water, and reducing the need for harmful chemicals. The farm grows more than 80,000 pounds of produce per year across 17 acres. It runs a food-waste-to-animal-feed compost program and has diverted more than 3.2 million pounds of waste from landfills through its composting operations. Jewish agricultural principles, including bal tashchit (avoiding waste), shmita (honoring natural cycles), peah (leaving food for those in need), and tza'ar ba'alei chaim (humane treatment of animals), inform how the farm grows, shares, and cares for its land and animals.
