Along with all the other exciting activities happening on Saturday, we’re also going to have a farm stand, where you can stock up on fresh LEF produce! For the Solstice event, we’ll be setting it up near the fire circle and main event meeting area. Bring your reusable shopping bags and grab some extra produce! 🙂
The farm stand isn’t typically in this location, nor just for special events though. This year, we will have it regularly, every Saturday throughout the summer, 10am – 3pm! Think of it as a great opportunity to walk the farm, check out what’s growing in the field, and then pick up some tasty treats. This “regular” farm stand will be situated in the breezeway of our beautiful refurbished redwood barn (Green Valley Road entrance, 1275 Green Valley Rd. Soon we will have signs on the road to advertise its presence). Members and new visitors alike are welcome – help spread the word and come and visit!
This year the farm is hosting a raffle at the Summer Solstice Celebration! All proceeds will go to the LEF Discovery program. There are three special prizes in the offing:
1. A 4-week CSA trial. Receive a Budget Share of fresh produce for 4 consecutive weeks (you choose the dates you wish to receive the boxes).
2. $25 worth of farm “credit”. You can spend your credit at one of our farmer’s markets, in the Web Store, or at one of our U-picks this season.
3. Mystery LEF goodie bag. This prize is a compilation of goodies from Live Earth. Items include but are not limited to a LEF logo t-shirt, hat, and a sweet preserve from the Web Store.
There will be multiple folks roaming around on the day of the event selling tickets – get one for $3, or three for $8!
The drawing for the winners will take place around 6pm at the fire circle with Farmer Tom.
