Coastal Roots Farm held a Food Forest Festival Feb. 9 in honor of Tu B’Shvat, the Jewish New Year of Trees. This year’s festival theme was “Trees of Change,” honoring the critical role trees play in the health of this planet.

The festival featured live music, local kosher and vegetarian food options, hands-on educational sessions, nature play, a Kids’ Zone, and tree care opportunities, including mulching and seeding. The event took place in the Farm’s 8.5-acre Food Forest.
