CLEARLAKE – Please join the Lake County Community Co-op's monthly educational series at one of Lake County's local farmers in the hills of Kelseyville.

Love Farm is one of the co-op's many suppliers of fresh, local grown produce.

The public is invited to attend the free tour on Saturday, June 12, from 10 a.m. to noon, and will have the opportunity to purchase fresh, tender lettuces and more.

Meet at the farm at 8025 Highway 175 in Kelseyville. From Highway 29, turn south on Hwy 175 and go about eight-tenths of a mile until you will see a “Lake County ’s Farmers Finest” sign on the right.

Local farmer Teale Love and wife, Chris, have been operating their farm since 2005.

The 20-acre farm has an array of fruit trees (peach, nectar, plum) and a variety of lettuces and other vegetables that are growing for summer harvest.

Farmer Love, also an accomplished fiddler musician, takes pride in growing healthy soil on his farm. He strongly believes in nurturing naturally growing beneficial flora, fauna and insects that help make healthy soil which, in turn, naturally fights off crop damaging insects.

In addition to fruits and vegetables that are pesticide free, the Loves raise chickens and goats and are proud of their two beautiful Belgian horses.

Children are welcome on the tour; however, all are asked not to bring pets along and to be mindful of not transmitting germs to the livestock on the farm.

One of the Lake County Community Co-op’s goals is educating Lake County residents on how to live more healthfully and sustainably by keeping it local.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to tour another beautiful farm, meet good people, and have a fabulous opportunity to purchase fresh-picked, organic produce after the tour.
