About

Specializing in young microgreen produce, Plant Beach Farm on La Costa Avenue in Encinitas operates a greenhouse-based farm store with weekend and Friday retail availability. The farm grows living salad trays and ultra-fresh micro produce for direct sale, supplying the same locally sourced ingredient pipeline that feeds plant-forward kitchens like Nectarine Grove. Additional inventory includes roses, raw local honey, and hemp products, and the 444 La Costa Avenue property doubles as a private event venue accommodating 60 to 75 guests for weddings and rehearsal dinners. The farm's organic growing methods align with the food-justice and sustainable-agriculture mission at Coastal Roots Farm on Saxony Road, anchoring Encinitas's identity as a North County hub for small-scale regenerative agriculture. Microgreen trays are grown in controlled greenhouse conditions using soilless media under calibrated LED supplemental lighting, with harvest-to-shelf cycles averaging 7 to 14 days depending on cultivar — including sunflower, pea shoot, radish, and broccoli varieties prized for concentrated nutrient density per gram of edible weight.
