Crop & Field Notes
CSA MEMBERS ONLY
Apricot U-Harvest
Saturday, June 29th: 10am - 3pm

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. 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.
