From the owner: Fortunate Farm is an intergenerational family farm that grows heirloom vegetables, berries and…read moreflowers in the small town of Caspar in Mendocino County. We farm with sincere care for the land and are committed to improving and protecting its beautiful, rock-free sandy loam soil. The farm's 40 acres are made up of pastures, creeks, forest and a large spring-fed irrigation pond. We are proud to continue the history of organic agriculture on this land. Our mission is to feed people locally, sequester carbon and empower our community. Fortunate Farm is a working farm that has received recognition for our work in sustainability. We are Featured Stewards of American Farmland Trust, received Young Farmer of the Year in 2016 from The Farmer's Guild, and are in partnership with the NRCS, MCRCD, Carbon Cycle Institute and Fibershed on our Carbon Farm Plan. We are a sustainable farm that makes our own plant-based compost on site.

Really cute apple farm and cider stand along the highway. We stopped here on the way to Mendocino…read moreand grabbed a bottle of apple cider sauce which we haven't seen elsewhere before. The stand itself is small and there weren't many people when we stopped by on a rainy day but the area is super charming. They also sell organic apple juice, cider, apple cider vinegar and some dried apples and pears. A lot of their products are organic and it's super easy to pay via cash, venmo or they have a card swiper inside.

Farm-to-table magic on California's North Coast…read more One of our favorite stops and one we still daydream about was Pennyroyal Farm. The cheeses alone are worth the drive, especially their Laychee which happened to be studded with fresh blueberries when we visited. If you try only one thing, make it the seasonal Laychee. It's unforgettable. We also devoured their ultra creamy deviled eggs, sipped wine, and ordered a cheese board because, honestly, cheese was the only thing on our minds. Boonville sits about 115 miles north of San Francisco, tucked among vineyards, redwoods, and small-town farmland. This whole stretch feels like a little slice of heaven. Stepping onto the property, it reminded me of a European farmstead. What makes Pennyroyal so special is that everything you taste comes directly from this land: goats, sheep, gardens, vineyards, cheese, wine - all feeding into each other on the same 66-acre ecosystem. Nothing is outsourced. They're open daily, and you can grab a table overlooking the vineyards or wander over to meet the animals and the people behind your very happy stomach. If you're exploring California's North Coast, this place belongs on your list.

The farm tour was a lot of fun and great for the kids. It's roughly 45 minutes but not much walking…read moresince the stops are close by each other. Great for kids, even the younger kids won't complain about the walk and the animals are exciting for them. Following the farm tour was the wine and cheese tasting, which was excellent of course. There are many great wineries in this area and the wine was good, but the specialty is on the cheese. The cheese was amazing! They offer a limited food menu (think heavy snacks or appetizers rather than a full meal) and the food was also excellent. Plenty of space for the kids to run around. At my next visit I'm bringing an ice cooler so that we can take cheese to-go for home enjoyment. Overall this is a delightful and kid-friendly wine and cheese tasting and I look forward to my next visit.

Incredibly peaceful and affordable place to come and visit…read more For literally 23 years my family went to this ranch until it was sold to the current owners. We missed it so much that we decided to come back and visit, and we were not disappointed! There have been a few much needed changes and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I created a video that should show you just a taste of what it's like to visit. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpJCNIGGHb8

All the meals were delicious and fresh, as BF now grows all their own vegetables and fruits, and they purchase meat from local sources. The cabins were freshened up with some paint and A/C.

Today I pulled in with my truck that happened to have a utility trailer attached. I pulled in and backed carefully out of the way near the Uhaul trailers. An employee rushed over yelling at me that I needed to park outside for loading. He didn't greet me or even ask me what I need. (A few bags of manure). I said I just happened to have my trailer and he just continued yelling to park outside. Employees need to be trained better than this. I pulled outside and drove to Mendo mill to complete my purchase. Again I wasn't blocking any spaces and was already parked. Not a shining moment.
