Not all destinations will be open all days. Please read the tour materials you receive via email very carefully! The online tour directory will be added to and updated up until the event, so be sure to check back often for latest details.
You will receive the Farm Trails insiders' special tour itinerary and online interactive map so you can choose your own agrarian adventure! Some stops may require or recommend RSVPs or charge fees for special offerings. Attendees will receive a link to the tour directory and map via email upon registration. Thanks to the County of Sonoma for sponsoring!
TIPS FOR THE TRAILS
The tour will happen rain or shine! Please be aware of the weather forecast and dress appropriately.
Most stops are kid-friendly. This will be noted in the tour listings.
Once you receive the event details via email, plan your route using special online map and tour itinerary features. Keep in mind, the nearest distance between locations may ranges from 3 - 15 miles.
We recommend printing the map and directions, or taking screenshots on your phone, prior to departing for your tours as cell reception is not reliable in some rural areas.
Read the online tour information closely. Some destinations are only open one day, have special hours, or require a fee or RSVP.
Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the warm weekend and bring sunscreen and protection from the sun.
Bring a cooler and basket or bag for purchases. Please carry out anything you bring with you.
Some individual destinations allow dogs, but not all do due to other farm animals or health department regulations. If you plan to visit multiple locations and don't know the dog-friendly statuses, please leave your pets at home. We also discourage you from leaving pets in parked cars due to the danger of them overheating. (Bonafide service animals always excepted.)
Tour sites are on working farms, and as such, terrain may be uneven and you will be outside in variable weather. Please wear good walking shoes and dress appropriately. If you have special mobility needs, please contact the tour destination directly or email farmtrails@farmtrails.org with any questions or concerns.
