Discovery ProgramSummer Camps at Live Earth Farm
We have surpassed our Spring Fundraising goals (yay!) and have plenty of scholarships available.
Looking for a Summer Camp for the kids? This year our Discovery Program is offering three camps: Art on the Farm Camp, Young Farmers Camp, and Sprouts Camp. We have a really good time at our Summer Camps. Summer is such a brilliant time on the farm. The experience is warm, sunny, bright, and full of flavor. Our days are filled with fun activities designed to encourage creative expression in many different media. We make art, crafts, snacks, preserves, garden beds, and great friends. During the course of the week we plant, weed, harvest, water, cut, cook, can, weave, print, paint, all in the beautiful setting of Live Earth Farm.
There's even a 10% discount for CSA members, returning campers, siblings and coupon holders (only one discount may be applied per family). Regular price of $350 per camper.

Community Farm Day - June 22nd 
Ideally farming is built around a mutual commitment between farmers and eaters, to share the risks and benefits of growing food and, of course, experiencing the pleasure of eating and sharing food that comes from this more harmonious relationship with the land.

There will be fun activities for the whole family from 2:00pm till dark. For more information and to Sign up for the event - Click Here!
