Live Power Offerings
Live Power Community Farm is no longer offering shares in the SF Bay Area. We are serving families and individuals in Mendocino County (Covelo, Willits, Laytonville, Redwood Valley, and Ukiah).
Live Power Community Farm grows Demeter-certified Biodynamic vegetables. It is a non-mechanized and solar energy farm that uses horses and human labor in the fields. The farm produces vegetables with a very low carbon footprint and environmental impact. Please contact Gloria at 707-983-8196 or livepower@livepower.org if you have questions. Costs are adjusted annually reflecting the farm’s operating budget.
Seasonal Variation: The farmers will harvest what is ready at each season. Early spring baskets are usually smaller with mostly greens and early roots, then peas and broccoli, then increasing in quantity and variety with corn, squash, tomatoes, melons, potatoes, roots and greens as peak summer harvest is reached in August and September. Fall harvests are also bountiful with roots, storage crops, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, leeks and greens. The baskets will increase in quantity and variety as the weather warms and more types of vegetables are ripe. Below is a table showing what is typically in a vegetable share (but note that items may vary due to natural causes).
Below is a table showing the schedule and quantities planned for the family share.

Of course, each season is different. For example here is 2012’s Family Share Totals.
Splitting shares. The basket you receive each week is designed at the height of the season to provide vegetables for a family of four. During the first few weeks of the season, the baskets are smaller and the variety is based partly on what grows early in the season and partly on what the weather has allowed. About half of our members split their shares, and you may also want to split. If you decide to split a share, we recommend finding a share partner that is known to you: a friend, a neighbor, a relative, or a colleague at work, and working out the logistics with them. Occasionally, we have individuals on our waiting list who need a share partner.
Newsletters are published every week or two with news from the farm, recipes, and other items of interest.
