Coastal Roots Farm
In 2013 Farmer D was hired by the Leichtag Foundation to lead a community visioning process to inspire a new Jewish Community Farm on the Foundation's 67.5 acre Leichtag Commons property in the heart of Encinitas, CA.
The Coastal Roots Farm program and designs that were completed by Farmer D Consulting in 2015 focused on approximately 15 acres of the overall property and included vegetable production areas, educational gardens, pay-what-you-can farm stand, barn, food forest trail, silvopasture, vineyard, biblical garden and an animal husbandry and compost operation.
In 2018 Farmer D transitioned out of being the Founding Director and Board President of Coastal Roots Farm after helping to hire a full time Executive Director, Javier Guererro and Farm Manager, Adam McCurdy.
Farmer D continues to consult for the farm and has a design studio on site.
