They are the best farm in Sonoma County to buy your veggies and flowers from! They developed the…read moremost economically viable no-till vegetable farm in the US and have been teaching people all around the world ever since. No-till with no-spray farming is the only form of farming that not only does not harm the ecosystem, but actually helps maintain and regenerate ecosystems. Even if a farm is organic or no-spray, if they till their soil, they are destroying all kinds of microbiomes that provide rich nutrients for growing food, and often lots of critters and creatures as well like frogs, snakes, and salamanders. Plus, because they keep all the nutrients in the soil, the food they grow is more nutritious than till-farmed or "only organic" farms. There's a reason they have been featured by National Geographic, in multiple books, documentaries, and periodicals. They have been asked to speak at conferences all around the world and farmers and university students come from all over the country and world to learn how their farming system works as a result of all this. Plus, they are just cool people!

This farm stand has some of the best seasonal produce in the county in my opinion. Their carrots…read moreare crazy good - so sweet, crunchy and flavorful. I currently munch on at least one a day and will be sad when they go out of season. I have also recently enjoyed their winter squash, kale, tomatoes and orange cauliflower. In addition to vegetables they also sell pantry goods like dried beans, pepper sauces, eggs, bread and tortillas. I think the tortillas are a must-buy when they are available, they are delicious and come in a variety of unusual colors. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and have some cute dogs that are sometimes around.

While my husband went in, I took our pup out , on his leash, to give him some water behind the car. As soon as we exited 2 shelties barreled out of the stand and raced up in a very threatening manner. A woman raced behind them , blamed ME for taking the pup out of the car, and said they were trained. She said I should have told her before taking dog out of the car--/ which was at least 25-30 yards away from the entrance the dogs raced out of towards us... I responded they obviously were NOT trained. They did not follow her commands and had to be physically brought inside one at a time while I kept the remaining one away from us My husband bought two ears of corn. We got them home and BOTH have worms in them !! If there was a negative number possible that is what I would give this establishment. Uncontrolled dogs running amok, rude customer service, and worms in the produce guarantee no return for us. I included a picture of one of the worms. The other has crawled back inside the ear of corn for now. We won't be eating either ear.

I first discovered the farm By driving to and from every day from work. I started going every Saturday about 3 weeks now to pick up freshly harvested veggies.

Pumpkin Patch with the Russian River Valley as backdrop…read more We were driving along the Russian River Valley and saw signs along the road leading to this pumpkin patch so we stopped by to check it out. This is a family-run, community-oriented farm in the Sonoma County. The owner was nice and friendly. During our visit he only required that masks be worn at the check-in tent or when we paid for any purchases towards the end (at exit), other than that we just needed to be mindful of keeping 6-ft distance from other patrons. I forgot to bring my mask with me but they supplied a disposable one and I didn't have to run back to the car. The farm field was pretty big and there are pumpkins everywhere, direction of the field was one way so we followed the path, went through a cornfield (don't worry, it's not a maze) and made our way around until the exit. The pumpkin patch will be operating until Halloween. Enjoy lots of pumpkins, decorative gourds, winter squash and lots more. They don't have a corn maze, or fancy rides and bouncy houses which is okay with me. We enjoyed an authentic farm experience and the beautiful backdrop of the Russian River Valley. Review #2415

Stopped in the other day, and they didn't have anything on the shelves. The place was set up really…read morenicely but no one was attending this farm stand in a barn. It looks promising. I was short on time, and didn't feel like waiting or looking for someone. The location is pretty cool, except the long dirt driveway that is guaranteed to get your car dirty. The nice picnic area out front will be great for a break between wineries. Can't wait for the fresh vegi's. I'll stop by after using Riverfront Regional Park.

For sale here are fresh eggs, frozen meats (lamb, pork and beef), local tea, and bone broth. We took note that this is an ecological farm using regenerative grazing practices, and yes we had to dig deeper into their website to find out exactly what that means. Impressive: thoughtful, transparent & sustainable farming. We picked up a dozen farm fresh eggs ($10) some farm made breakfast sausage (which was delicious), and large pork sausage, which we can't wait to try. Easy to connect to their free WiFi at the farm shop and pay via Venmo. Nothing better than a true backroads find!

Camping my Style…read more Working cattle ranch and farm that also happens to have camping locations available throughout the property. The Good: *You can purchase some of their homegrown meats to use at your campground. *Lone shared restroom was very not bad for an outhouse. *Multiple campsites along the Estero *You can also purchase wood to burn in the camp firepit *Located in Tomales, not too far from the ocean, it probably doesn't get too hot like most summer campgrounds are prone to getting. *Cell signal (Xfinity) was actually pretty decent in some spots. The Meh: *Directions to campground is a little confusing at first. The Ugly: *It's still camping and sleeping in a tent on an air mattress is still a nightmare. Conclusion: Still not a big fan of camping but this place is very not bad.

The new guide was never out before the spring farmtrails weekend, especially when it was printed every year, which it isn't anymore. We even called them once to pick it up at their farm beforehand, & they said they'd leave it on a haystack for us, but when we went to pick it up, it wasn't there. Instead of making it easy for you & just printing a list of participants, they want you to use an inwieldly system on the computer, where you have to go back & forth to different pages, which is probably designed for a fartphone, which we don't have. So consequently, we don't do this anymore.
