Slice - 5th Annual Dinner on the Farm
Special Discount for CSA Members


On September 14th, 2013, the Live Earth Farm Discovery Program will host Slice, our 5th Annual Dinner on the Farm to support hands-on, farming programs for kids of all ages. We will celebrate Apples and Agriculture in the Pajaro Valley with local food, wine, live music, an auction and great company!  The outstanding Chefs Jonathan Miller of Eat Right at Home, and Rebecca Mastoris and Karen Haralson of Vibrant Foods Catering will tantalize your taste buds with a gourmet, multi-course meal featuring sustainable Monterey Bay area farms.  We are also pleased to present a children's program. Partake in farm fresh fare while together, we build the future of healthy children, farms and communities.
We would like to extend a special invitation to Live Earth Farm CSA Members to attend Slice on September 14th for a discounted price.  For two weeks - from July 30th to August 13th - CSA members will enjoy 10% off tickets to Slice.

Meanwhile, things are always changing in the fields.  From month to month, week to week, and day to day.  Continue to a photo essay on our web site

Community Note

Workplace CSA 

Convenience makes a big difference in today's busy world, so we are looking to expand our CSA program to include Workplace CSA locations.  Want to get your share delivered to your place of business?  We are seeking individuals in our community to become sponsors for Workplace CSA locations.  This could be as little as putting us in touch with the right person, to being the host of a location at your place of employment.
