Sonoma County Farm Trails Fall Tour: Sept. 27 & 28

Join us on our Weekend Along the Farm Trails Fall Tour, when local farmers and producers open their gates and barn doors to offer a taste of life on the farm!

Choose your own agrarian adventure from dozens of farms and producers to discover where your food, fiber, and flowers come from. Take farm tours, meet farm animals, enjoy tastings and workshops, shop for the tastiest ingredients at charming farm stands, and support local small-scale agriculture while you’re at it.

All ages are welcome! Registration is free and easy, but required to access the insider’s guide and interactive map to the tour destinations. Note that not all destinations will be open both days; they may also have special hours. Some sites will offer snacks, lunches, or bucolic picnic sites. Note that some activities may require a fee and additional RSVP, and due to the rural nature of the tour, not all route participants will be suitable for those with limited mobility.

This event is funded, in part, by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors and California Open Farm Passport.

NOTE: YOU WILL RECEIVE ADDITIONAL EMAILS WITH LINKS TO THE ONLINE TOUR DIRECTORY & MAP ONE MONTH BEFORE THE TOUR.
