| Description: | Farm Discovery at Live Earth is a nonprofit organization working in the Pajaro Valley community to empower youth and families to build and sustain healthy food, farming, social and natural systems. Our home, Live Earth Farm, is a 150 acre patchwork of working organic farm, riparian corridor, oak and redwood forest in the Pajaro Valley of Santa Cruz County, California. *What we care about* We believe that we can transform personal and community health and improve our impact on earth by building and sustaining collaborative agricultural, ecological and social systems. We believe that communities equipped with knowledge and the skills of inquiry can transform food, farming and natural systems for the better. *What we do* * Farm Discovery offers educational programs that inspire youth and families to transform their relationship to food, farming and nature. * We steward our working farm and its wild spaces as an environmentally and economically viable piece of the food system and a learning space. * We collaborate with community partners to learn from each other and extend our collective impact in the community.
