April is Earth Month at the Farm Stand    
Every day is Earth Day at Earthbound Farm. This year, throughout the month of April, we're sharing lots of information that we all can use to live more lightly on the planet — and each week, we're donating 5% of Farm Stand sales to a different environmentally focused nonprofit organization. On April 19, in honor of Earth Day, we'll open our event season with farm tours and games. Join us to learn how organic farming produces delicious, healthy food and protects our environment. April 19. 11am–3pm. Rain cancels.

"Fun with the Family"

In a beautiful setting between the foothills and a green hillside, a roadside stand laden with organic fresh and dried fruits, herbs and vegetables, flowers, artisanal cheeses, prepared picnic foods, and homemade bakery goods. Stop for a cold drink or a snack, and to shop for gifts. Wander the Kids’ Garden, the cut-your-own herb garden, and the aromatherapy labyrinth; and call ahead to join free harvest walks and chef-led tours in sixty acres of garden, and to participate in garlic braiding, crafts workshops, and more events and classes. This unique farm is now America’s largest grower of certified organic produce.
