Farm News & Tom's Reflections

Share the Journey - Invest in your food, your farm, and your community 
 
We invite you to join the Live Earth Farm Community on another "food and farming journey" with our upcoming Main Season to experience the thrills, mystery, and pleasures inherently associated with growing your food. Nature's bounty is abundant but fleeting which means that in farming, timing is everything. Like with any dance, in farming one tries to anticipate the dynamic conditions Mother Nature has in her repertoire. Staying one step ahead is never easy.  Your relationship to the farm is tied into this dynamic process, and you participation is intimately connected through the food you receive. By participating as a member of Live Earth Farm you have the opportunity to better understand the process involved behind every meal you make and every bite of food you ingest.  Join our CSA today - we look forward to another tasty and exciting season beginning in April.
