Happy Thanksgiving!
Giving thanks for the blessings of our CSA members, Farmer's Market customers, and Restaurant customers who support LIfe Farms here in Clearwater! We are grateful for those who believe in organic, local and sustainable agriculture! When you support a CSA or local farmer's market, you are not only getting the freshest, most nutritious produce available, but you are also helping the environment and supporting the growing of food in a sustainable way. We are grateful for the responsible and informed choices you make to feed your family local, organic food!
Others in the Bay Area are beginning to take notice of our unique, land-based, organic farm! We were featured in a Creative Loafing article recently and will appear in Channel 8's Blooming Garden segment soon! Several restaurants have also come aboard to provide fresh, tasty, and organic food to their customers! Check out our Markets & Restaurants page to see which restaurants now serve our produce and microgreens! :
Something very cool is also happening on the farm! Diana from the Dept of Agriculture visited our farm recently as we are working on a plan to:
1. Protect & create wildlife habitats at the farm
2. Attract pollinators and beneficial Insects
3. Lower our impact on the environment
So many exciting things are happening at the farm! Take time this holiday weekend when you pick up your share or just visit, to really appreciate all that is becoming a reality because of our staff's and supporter's vision and participation.
