If there were one Jewish holiday made for the Farm, it might just be Sukkot. 🌿
The Jewish holiday of Sukkot is an ancient harvest festival, celebrated by gathering outdoors in a temporary structure called a sukkah. For seven days, Jewish tradition asks people to step outside the permanence of their homes, look up through a roof of branches to the sky, welcome guests, share food, and celebrate the abundance of the harvest.
In so many ways, Sukkot brings together what Coastal Roots Farm holds dear: gratitude for what the earth provides, responsibility to share that abundance, hospitality toward the stranger, and the reminder that people are part of nature, not separate from it.
A sukkah is intentionally temporary and exposed to the elements. It asks those who enter to dwell a little more lightly, to notice the wind and stars, and to remember how much life depends on land, water, weather, and one another.
Harvest. Hospitality. Humility. Joy. For a Jewish community farm, it doesn’t get much more quintessential than Sukkot.
Chag Sukkot Sameach, wishing a joyful Sukkot to all who celebrate. 🌾
