Farm News & Reflections
Celebrate the Beginning of Summer at Live Earth Farm
You know the start of Summer is just around the corner when you open your shares this week and get a strong whiff of Basil. Things are really picking up, and I find myself with little time to write my piece for the newsletter this week. I can't miss the opportunity, though, to invite everyone who is in some way connected to the farm to join us for our 18th Annual Summer Solstice Celebration on June 22nd.

Crop and Field Notes

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.

Summer Solstice Celebration
Saturday, June 22nd: starts at 2:00pm
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. You are invited to come to the farm to honor the changing of the seasons, celebrate the meaning of community around Food and Farming, and experience this dynamic relationship at our upcoming Annual Summer Solstice celebration. 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!
