Farm News & Tom's Reflections

Organic Rising - A Worthy Cause to Support 
 

Last year in late Spring, Anthony Suau, a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist, stopped by the Farm on an assignment to document and experience first hand the work of organic farmers in this country.  Mr Suau has released a video - ORGANIC RISING, a summary of what he documented up to this point. The video explores how the "Organic Farming Movement" has matured into a healthy alternative to replace today's unsustainable food and farming system. The next phase is to produce a full-length educational documentary of how Organic Farming is creating a more abundant and nutritious food supply where consumers and farmers participate in creating a sustainable food system. Having met Mr. Suau I am convinced he has the integrity, courage and expertise to take on this challenging subject.  I encourage everyone to support him by sharing the video and donating to make this promising endeavor a success.   Check out the video and see if you recognize some familiar Live Earth Farm sites and faces!

Summer Camps at Live Earth Farm
 
Live Earth Farm Discovery Program Summer Camps offer a unique opportunity to engage with the food the Farm grows.  Camps are in depth field-to-fork experiences, each lasting a whole week. Campers get their hands dirty exploring pieces of the Farm's 150 acres, learning about life as an organic vegetable farmer, and discovering the benefits of humane livestock management by assisting with the daily chores caring for our goats and chickens.
All of the summer camps include a Leader in Training program for teens. Scholarships are available.
