“It completely throws us off guard,” said Adam McCurdy.
He’s the Director of Farm Production at Coastal Roots Farm in Encinitas.
“We’re a community farm with a focus on nourishing community,” said McCurdy. “The food that we’re producing is focused on going towards hunger relief.”
He said they’ve worked out a good system to grow organic, healthy crops in Encinitas.
“Crops grow like you wouldn’t even believe. Now, that said, we are completely dependent on our irrigation system,” he admitted. “It’s very expensive and it’s a lot, a lot of labor to maintain the survival of those crops.”
