On a tour organized by CUESA in October 2011, a group of adventurers got a taste of an integrated local food system by visiting Happy Girl Kitchen, and one of their partner farms, Live Earth Farm. The Field to Jar excursion began with a tour of the farm, where the group picked dry-farmed organic tomatoes. It culminated at Happy Girl, where they learned to pickle the harvest, Italian-style.

Live Earth Farm is an 80-acre organic farm in Watsonville, California. They grow 50 types of fruits and vegetables, primarily for farmers markets and their CSA (community-supported agriculture) program. The property also includes 40 acres of wild land.
