Farm News & Tom's Reflections

The Joys of Farm Life 
 
I am always excited about how new ideas, crops, innovations, and experiments will reveal themselves throughout the season, whether it's the new transplanter, the plantings of new crop varieties, or the pruning and training results in the apple orchard. Ultimately, what truly brings this farm alive is not only the turning of the season but the wonderful community of people - our CSA members, customers, and friends who care about the farm, the land, the animals, and all of us who work here. Thank you for supporting this farm - and now: Just let it rain!

CSA Program News

The link between our fields and your plate is at the heart of our Community Supported Agriculture Program. Your individual investment in the farm and your commitment to cook, eat, and enjoy the fruits and vegetables we grow with care and pick fresh for you every week is as significant for our well-being as it is for yours. We are starting our 19th growing season, and one of the best and most supportive ways to be a part of the Live Earth Farm experience is by joining the Farm's CSA program. Deliveries for our Main Season begin in April.

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.
