In almost all of my classes at In the Kitchen, at some point, I mention Living Lands Agrarian Network…..this is my brother Tim’s farm project in Nevada City. July 11th they will be holding a membership drive and day to raise funds for their intern program and as well general operating costs for the season. Read below about the fun filled day of food, farm tours and education that you can take part in with LLAN! In the Kitchen will be there with appetizers for the masses!

Become a Member!

Living Lands Agrarian Network is a non-profit organization that offers training and mentor-ship to the next generation of farmers.  Our unique model of cooperative farming integrates ecological education, community involvement, resource sharing, and celebration around the food we grow right here in our neighborhoods.  We practice and promote localized ecological farming for the profound benefit it has on ourselves, our neighbors and the planet.

We can’t do this work alone – we need your help.  One way you can directly support our work in Nevada county is by becoming a member of the Living Lands Agrarian Network.  In gratitude for your membership and support, we can offer you the following perks:

Join us for a tour of three local farm sites in the LLANnetwork.  Meet the farmers, enjoy farm fresh appetizers at each site, and see farm demonstrations like a horse-drawn plow, goat-milking, and more. After the tours, there will be a picnic celebration back at Pioneer Park with music, farm fresh ice cream, raffle prizes, games and more.
