046 La Voce Las Vegas Radio: Farmer Sharon Linsenbardt’s The Las Vegas Farm Could Use Our Help

This is an important message about the future of Farmer Sharon Linsenbardt’s Las Vegas Farm.

The Farm has no options. It must either gain self-sufficiency to cover operational expenses or Las Vegas may lose one of its most cherished resources.

The good news is that expansion of The Farm, our last piece of old-world Vegas, could save the day, and transform the farm into a full five acre ‘destination’ site supporting a small cafe, events center and offering an unprecedented community center for education and information about life on the farm. Most importantly, the home of hundreds of animals that have found their life-long refuge here would be protected.

This planned expansion would create the income necessary to keep the farm financially sound for years to come.

What’s the bad news?

Should The Farm be required by various agencies and departments to make substantial and expensive changes to accommodate the planned expansion, these changes could destroy the fabric and character of The Farm and the associated costs could prove impossible to manage.

We hope you will take a few minutes to learn more about this important issue by listening to this interview with Farmer Sharon that was recorded at Theatre7 in Las Vegas on Tuesday, January 24, 2012.

You will hear Farmer Sharon discuss two critical public hearings and asking for your help by attending these events to demonstrate and offer your support for approving expansion plans while retaining the unique character of The Farm.

Please help The Farm and plan to attend both of these events.

He’s back, one of our La Voce Las Vegas Radio favorite guests.

micheal joins Antoinette Silicato, La Voce News Magazine, and radio host John Donovan for a full thirty minute interview.

041 La Voce Las Vegas:  A Fun Day On Sharon Linsenbardt’s Las Vegas Farm

It a destination for multiple generations of Las Vegans and attracts visitors from all around the globe.

Sharon Lisenbardt has been operating “The Farm” in the Northwest part of Las Vegas for 50 years and the main attraction here is that not much has changed.  All the animals seem to be on vacation and pamperered, the fresh-from-the-farm products like the tomatoes in the accompanying photo are to die for, the best we had ever tasted, and ditto the the chicken, duck, goose, quail and even peacock eggs.  Add in honey from her own resident bees and preserves and breads and pickled goodies and well, it’s just wonderful.

We had planned a remote broadcast from The Farm and was great to see our editor Myken Bevilacqua arrive along with her husband and granddaughter as well Deputy Editor Antoinette Silicato.

As this brief segment would suggest, none of our team seemed to be working that hard and we had some fun and more than a few laughs on Sharon’s wonderful farm.

If you get a chance to visit The Farm think about attending the big annual Fall Harvest event running each weekend in October 2011.  The address is 7222 W. Grand Teton Drive on the cornder of Tenaya.

Listen in…!
