Visiting Earthbound Farm
A few years ago I was able to visit Earthbound Farm in Carmel Valley, California. It was fun to go to the farm since I have purchased a number of Earthbound products over the years. I was recently able to go back and had a lovely time yet again!
Spending some time with my family, outside, among fresh, happy plants, is a finer thing!
My favorite part was the organic herb garden. I didn't realize that so many herbs had multiple varieties. And every herb has a nice little sign so they can easily be identified. It was very educational for me!
You can snip fresh herbs and buy them. But I was inspired to get my herb garden going at home! So many of them grow like weeds, which is prefect for a lazy gardener like me 🙂
The kids really enjoyed the Kid's garden. They ran around and around.
The baby enjoyed being outside and even got a bite of ice cream! She wasn't sure what to think about it though. We also put a chamomile flower between her toes 😉
Wish this picture didn't have my shadow in it!
They have a little store with fruit, vegetables, and some specialty items. I bought some roasted walnut oil for a salad dressing I've been wanting to make. Recipe to come…if it's good 🙂
Last time I visited Earthbound farm I purchased co-founder, Myra Goodman's book, Food to Live By
. It has become a favorite. Especially the Maple Almond Granola recipe. Mmmm.
You can find out more about Earthbound Farm on their website. They also have a bunch of recipes.

The flower between the toes is just adorable!! Sounds like a fun trip- I’m so envious of herb gardens. We have about three herbs growing in our yard but I’d love to just walk out there and grab whatever I needed.
This sounds like such a fun trip. I just love the little foot with the flower. Adorable!
we were stationed in monterey last year and i got to take my kids and friends to the earthbound organics farm — its probably one of my most favorite things we did living near there! the herb garden is to die for!! they have a darling store/grocery and lovely tables to eat those wonderful sandwiches! i am so glad you enjoyed it there too!
