Coastal Roots Farm To Host State Of The Farm Event In Encinitas

ENCINITAS, CA — Coastal Roots Farm will host its State of the Farm event Sunday, featuring seasonal food, updates on the nonprofit's future and an introduction to its new leadership.

The event will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. at the farm, located at 441 Saxony Road in Encinitas.

Guests will hear from new CEO Kesha Dorsey and other farm leaders about the organization's plans, including changes to its programs and efforts to ensure long-term sustainability.

The event will also feature seasonal dishes inspired by what is growing in the farm's fields and gardens.

"Together, we will celebrate a decade of impact, welcome new leadership, and cultivate the philanthropic support needed to sustain and deepen the farm's work in the years ahead," Board Chair Michael Berlin said.

The gathering comes as Coastal Roots Farm marks more than a decade of providing food assistance, agricultural education and opportunities for community connection.

"This evolution comes at a moment when our work is especially needed," Dorsey said, citing food insecurity and the need for community connection.
