Are you a Jewish performing artist in California who cares about the environment?

Coastal Roots Farm is launching its first-ever Jewish Climate Artists of California Incubator — a yearlong program nurturing artistic voices at the intersection of Judaism and the climate crisis.

Over the course of the program, artists will deepen their connection to Jewish and ecological wisdom while creating and sharing original works that inspire climate action.

The program begins with a five-day retreat at the Farm in September 2025 and continues with bi-weekly virtual gatherings. The incubator culminates in workshops and live performances at our Regenerate! Eco-Performance Fest in May 2026.

🎭 In partnership with The Covenant Foundation!

Nature is the best teacher—and we’ve built a whole curriculum around it.

Last week, our Farm was alive with joy, gratitude, and the spirit of Jewish tradition as we came together for the final class of our 6-Part Earth-Based Judaism Series followed by our Intergenerational Passover Celebration. 🌱💚

The sacred rituals of the Passover seder took on new life as we connected with the Farm, the food we grow, and each other.

We honored the ancient story of the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt, while also acknowledging the ongoing efforts to create a more just, sustainable, and interconnected world. 🌍✨

It was a beautiful reminder of the living Jewish traditions rooted in history and the soil beneath our feet!

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate and to the entire community for making these events possible!

Here’s to many more celebrations where we gather, learn, and grow together.

Wishing you a Chag Pesach Sameach (Happy Passover)! ✡️

The symbolic foods of the Seder plate tell a story of resilience and renewal—echoing through the soil, the seasons, and our shared responsibility to care for the Earth and each other.

It’s no coincidence that so many of these items are seasonal: fresh greens, eggs, herbs, and roots. The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, just like agricultural cycles. Both honor the rhythms of the natural world, guiding when we plant, harvest, and celebrate.

This year, consider adding locally grown or plant-based symbols to your Seder plate, honoring both tradition and a deep connection to the land:

🥬 Maror (Bitter Herbs): Mustard or radish greens, symbolizing the bitterness of oppression
🌱 Chazeret (Second Bitter Herb): Spicy arugula, a second reminder of struggle and resilience
🌿 Karpas (Greens): Fresh parsley, representing renewal and the arrival of spring
🍏 Charoset: A local mix of apples, dates, and honey—evoking the mortar of forced labor
🥚 Egg (Beitzah): A pasture-raised egg from local hens, symbolizing mourning and the cycle of life
🧅 Beet (as Shank Bone): A vibrant, plant-based alternative symbolizing sacrifice and remembrance
Passover invites reflection not only on freedom and justice, but also on the ways earth-based living is woven into Jewish time and tradition.

We ❤️ Our Farmers at Coastal Roots Farm!

Shoutout to our farmers! We are so grateful for the hard work, dedication, and passion they bring to the land every week. They care for the earth, nurture the soil, and help grow fresh, nutritious food for our community.

They are the true stewards of the land, embodying sustainability, resilience, and the spirit of giving back to the earth. 🌍

Judaism teaches us to pause and reflect on the food we eat, recognizing our food as a gift. Through blessings over our meals, we express gratitude for the hands that grew, harvested, and brought the food to our table. These blessings remind us of the interconnectedness of all life, honoring not just the farmers, but every person involved in the journey of our food to our table.

Thank you to our amazing team who make it all happen!

We started with a sukkah and a dream. 💫

From our very first Sukkot Harvest Festival in 2013 to observing Shmita (the agricultural sabbatical), launching Jewish values such as Arevut (mutual care) as guiding principals, and creating earth-based Judaism cohorts, Jewish life at the Farm has taken root and flourished.

We've marked Shabbat with prayer, planted trees during Tu B'Shvat, and welcomed everyone to glean from the wisdom of this earth-based tradition.

Here’s to 10 years of meaningful moments and shared tradition on the land we love.

🎉 Celebrate with us on May 18 at Taste of the Farm—a decade in bloom! Ticket link in bio.

From Bare Land to Abundance: 10 Years of the Food Forest 🌳🌿

What started as a bare plot of land has transformed into the 8.5-acre agroforestry system we now call our Food Forest—a thriving, biodiverse ecosystem that feeds people, supports wildlife, and brings learning to life.

🌱 Home to fruit trees and resilient vegetable crops
🦉 A habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife
📚 A living classroom for campers, students, and interns
🌎 A lab for experimenting with sustainable farming practices and microclimates
🌳 The beloved site of our Tu B’Shvat Food Forest Festival
🌾 And in 2020, a lifeline—doubling our food production during COVID, when the need was greatest

Now, we’re inviting you to celebrate this evolution and all of this growth—because on May 18, we’re marking 10 years of nourishing people and the planet with an unforgettable evening of food, music, and community.
