Farm News & Tom's Reflections
We Farm for You - Join us for the best Food and Farm Experience this Season!
 As we wrap up our Winter CSA deliveries this week, it always feels like a special accomplishment to have successfully navigated the unpredictable off-season weather patterns (freeze, drought, record warmth, and finally some rain) and more challenging growing conditions. We are grateful to all our loyal CSA members, customers, and friends for their commitment to purchase our farm's produce through the winter months, which allows us to continue farming year-round and provide our workers and staff with stable employment - You make a difference, and thank you on behalf of the entire Live Earth Farm team!
All around us signs abound that the dormant season is over. The apricot and plum trees have burst into bloom, the strawberry plants look healthy and strong, and many are already flowering and starting to set fruit. I am predicting an early April harvest of both Albion and Chandler strawberry varieties as we resume our CSA deliveries. Read more on our web site

Summer Meadows Farm
Goat's Milk and Cheese Shares
Would you like to own a goat share? Lynn Selness of Summer Meadows Farm raises dairy goats on her small farm on the flanks of Mt. Madonna not far from Live Earth Farm. For several years now she has been offering a raw goat milk share, including options of kefir, yogurt, and fresh cheeses such as chevre and ricotta. Lynn has an abundance of milk right now, and we are happy to let new folks know about her, as well as remind past year members, too. The main thing you need to know is - you sign-up directly with Lynn, not Live Earth Farm. She can be reached at 831.786.8966.
Lynn delivers her shares to Happy Girl Caf� in Pacific Grove and Main Street Garden & Restaurant in Soquel; and LEF delivers for her to our Willow Glen location.
