I've been going here for years now and they are the nicest most wonderful people who give good tours and have wonderful silly and snuggly baby goats! They give you real time with them and don't have a forced amount of time on each part of the tour - unlike Harley goat farm. You can skip the tour and just hung with the baby goats the whole time if you want! Also can come early or stay late depending on when if there's another tour that day. I get enough time with the baby goats - and I loooove baby goats so that's saying something! Bring a meal if you want to eat and hangout at their picnic tables. I've gotten to milk the goats a few times, feed the adults, be there for a goat birth (just happened while on the tour!), and have all the baby goat snuggles and silliness. Love the family farm, love the folks who run the baby goat tours/visits. Also a cute town to go into after for food, beverage, also wine tastings nearby. I recommend a second set of clothes to change into after in case you get dirty (goats are relatively clean, but they're goats so not like indoor pets. I let the baby goats climb all over me.)

When we arrived it looked like not much was in bloom, but our pitchers were soon stuffed with a variety of of cut flowers, decorative grasses and greens. We loved the experience of choosing each piece and making our own bouquets. What I learned was that other beds will be in bloom later as the season progresses. Actually, they had blooms into the fall last year! I can't wait for the dahlias in August and see what blooms in October! I went back today and it was fun to see what was still in bloom and what was new. There are so many different flowers and decorative grasses, etc. that you just don't see in stores. I also got a snapdragon start last time and it looks so good in our garden I got a few more. They have other starts too if you want some cut flower plants closer to home.

While Dear Hubby and I were in Sonoma County for a quick trip, we had free time on Sunday to get out into the backroads and check out a few apple farms. Hale's is close to Santa Rosa, which made it convenient. They were decked out for Halloween, with various areas sporting giant spider figures, scarecrows, skeletons, and much more. Autumn décor, including pumpkins and apples were definitely part of the scene. Adjacent to their barn they had a station set up with very helpful staff offering samples of various varieties of apples. I loved that they had a number of the favorites I've experienced in SoCal's apple haven of Oak Glen (near Yucaipa). Yes, to Mutsu! Cameo! They also had others that I hadn't heard of, and already can't recall their names. Oh good, I found a chart online - Northern Spy is one I tried and bought. Sundance, maybe? Yikes! Hale's claims to grow 30 different varieties, and good for them. Good for you! An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as the old saying goes. No doctors for me for now - I'm enjoying usually one apple for breakfast and one for lunch. Hale's has kept me going for two weeks now. We especially enjoyed taking in their ambiance with my brother and sister-in-law, who live nearby, but hadn't been before. A great place to visit with family! If you're in the area, stop on by and enjoy the fresh air, the friendly folks helping you taste and purchase the goodness of Sonoma County fruit.

We went with blackberries and apples. We sampled some fruits as we picked, delicious! After we were done picking, we were told to check out by the farm store. We went inside and check out the many goodies they sold (hats that turn into a fan, hand held fans, home made soaps, lavender sprays, baskets, tshirts, etc). We met the owner, Pandora. She was very sweet including her staff. Thank you for the most welcoming, intimate, U-PICK experience I have ever had!

We told them the colors and vibe we wanted and trusted them with the rest, and we are so glad we did. They designed the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous arrangements for us, and set them up at the venue perfectly. No one could stop talking about how stunning our flowers were. They even created a custom lapel arrangement for my partner that turned out SO COOL. We also love that they only use local and sustainable blooms. Not to mention how affordable and transparent their pricing is. We really cannot say enough good things about Moonlight Blooms, and we highly recommend trusting them to bring your wedding floral dreams to life.

He should. For these, his mixed sweet peppers and his Early Girl tomatoes are the crops that his Quetzal Farm are best known for. Kevin and his business partner, Keith Abeles, operate the 10 acre farm in Santa Rosa, and they recently took time out from their busy weekend schedules to offer our Berkeley-based group a tour of their farm. Kevin started the farm in 1999 and his farm has been certified organic since 2002. Kevin tells us he named the farm after the national bird of Guatemala for it was there where he planted his first farm. He is the core farmer at this site while Keith promotes sales and administrative duties. The location of the farm is key to the produce harvested here. Here they have the intense Santa Rosa heat coupled with a prominent marine layer to successfully produce warm weather crops such as tomatoes side by side with cold weather crops such as lettuce. Kevin tells us the unique weather helps his produce to mature slowly creating a more vibrant flavor. We took a walking tour into one of their greenhouses, and as soon as we entered the enclosure we noticed it was like walking into a sauna. Inside the greenhouse our group marveled at the specialty herbs, brightly colored radishes and a field full of green garlic with many of us stopping to take a photo or two. Two dozen in my case! Back outside Kevin described in detail some of their sustainable farming techniques and showed us why they use raised soil beds to take advantage of the unique climate and better drainage. Like many organic farms they create their own compost here and the farm grows cover crops to protect their soil as good soil is a vital part to any successful farm. While the farm is well known for only specific types of produce Keith told us that their recent trials with lemon cucumbers and English cucumbers have done exceptionally well. In addition the farm dries their own chiles and sells these and freshly made salsas at local farmers markets. Following our tour Kevin and Keith led us into the barn, broke out some tortilla chips and allowed our group to sample some of their tasty salsas. I loved both their Chipotle Salsa and Hot Salsa so much I purchased a pint of each along with some super fresh produce that was picked for our group that morning. Produce from Quetzal Farm can be found locally at the Thursday Berkeley Farmer's Market, the Saturday Berkeley Farmer's Market and the Sunday Marin Farmer's Market. In addition, their dried chiles are sold at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco, Rockridge Market Hall in Oakland, the Santa Rosa Community Market and selected Whole Foods markets in the North Bay.
