Farm happenings...
Hello Long Beach Locals-

We are loving our new website and hope you are too. We are trying out some new email platforms for you too. Trying to make it easier to get you the info you need. 

You can find lots of great info on volunteering, donating, visiting, purchasing our farm fresh goodies, history and more. Farmstand 59 opens in March the Second Saturday of the month and runs until October. Looking forward to that! 

This weekend we are hosting a great winter class. Container gardening! Come to the farm on Saturday for a beginners lesson on transplanting and what to grow now in your garden. You will leave with a pot full of rapini, kale, broccoli and more. Classes are rain or shine!

February 14th we are very excited to host our first fundraiser brunch on the farm. The lovely Wide Eyes Open Palms will be cooking a 3 course meal for you. Please join us for speciality coffee, cocktails and a self guided farm tour. All proceeds go to our small farm. Let's make this first chef event of the year an awesome one!  
Member and nonmember tickets available

Last call for Spring 2015 Volunteer applications

If you are interested in helping out your local farm this spring applications are due this week! It takes a small village to make this farm happen. Join the crew and learn sustainable agriculture from the ground up. Seeding, weeding, crop rotation, irrigation, chicken keeping, our farm is biointensive and has a little bit of everything. If you are not the farming type but want to help out we also have donor relations, marketing and outreach and education positions available. 

Apply here asap! Spring is coming!!
