A new feature of the Live Earth Farm website! This is a place where we can share articles, stories, and, well, interesting stuff with our CSA membership (and the public at large); anything which doesn't fit in anywhere else on our website.

Check back periodically for new additions!

First up: a timely and well-researched, well-written article by fellow CSA member Deborah Rich:

by Michael Pollan
from the Sunday Oct. 15, 2006 edition of the New York Times Magazine


This is a great little YouTube video from member Ken Eklund called "Fresh Produce Without Oil" which was originally created in May 2007 as a contribution to World Without Oil. What we love about this is how beautifully it portrays the conviviality of a Live Earth Farm CSA pick-up site.
