Camphill Communities California thanks Live Earth Farm for their generous and abundant weekly contributions of fresh, delicious organic fruit and vegetables for the hungry mouths of our growing community in Soquel California.
Camphill Communities California is a 501(3)c organization serving adults with developmental disability. Our mission is to provide a nurturing and dynamic residential community where adults with special needs work, learn and live together with professional caregivers and volunteers.
With more than 7 acres of land, Camphill California has a year-round agricultural and horticultural program that includes organic vegetable, herb and flower gardens, a vineyard, and an orchard. Although our gardens supply a portion of our produce, weekly donations from Live Earth Farm provide an additional and important source of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables for our food production workshops, weekly community café, and for our seven homes.
Each week, Camphill California volunteer program coordinator, Ala Jacob, a Live Earth Farm CSA member for six years, loads up her car with eight crates of fresh, delicious vegetables and fruits for our hungry community. Then Ala and her food processing team turn Live Earth Farm vegetables into kimchi, sauerkraut, chutneys, pickled vegetables, tomato sauce and jam.
An additional use of our wonderful Live Earth Farm harvest is our Wednesday lunch café. Each week our five-member cooking team transforms the Farm’s fresh, delicious produce into a mouth-watering hot lunch for our community of nearly fifty.
Thank you Live Earth for supporting the local community with your generous donations!
