They have a small corn maze and a mini haunted house. Lots of photo opportunities for the kids. Hay bales to play on, tractor rides, and picnic tables scattered around to sit back and enjoy the area. There's even a little pond in the middle. People were super nice there, we were greeted as soon as we arrived and told of all their activities. A good selection of pumpkins, classic and funky ones, all $1 per pound!

We have been happy CSA members of Tara Firma Farms for 3+ years now and highly recommend for anyone…read morelooking for a local, sustainable farm co-op! The eggs are wonderful, delivery prompt, online store very accessible, and they conveniently partner with other local farms to provide veggies + fruit in addition to their sustainable meats (most CSAs will only provide one or the other). We came across Tara Firma initially via online / yelp searches shortly after moving to the Bay Area in 2016. When my husband and I initially started looking into vegetarianism for animal welfare reasons, I suggested we visit a farm that employs best practices of ethically and sustainably raised meat to help inform our decision. Tara Firma offers free educational tours every weekend and so we drove up one day with our 2 dogs (leashed dogs welcome!) and another family with their 3 (non furry) children for a fun Petaluma outing. The tour was informative and our guide was clearly super passionate about their mission. The farm was very beautiful and the lands idyllic -- we loved the fact that the cows were so free range that we could just barely make them out as a tiny dot in the distant hills. We all enjoyed observing the chicken dynamics around their mobile coop with their rooster guard, and they showed us how unperturbed the hens were when removing the eggs from the nest-- evening letting the children carefully take a couple out. Ultimately, we decided to pursue a vegetarian diet (especially after my husband met the pigs there), but we joined the CSA for their eggs and veggie share + cheeses (sourced from partner farms). We also have purchased meat occasionally for visiting carnivore families and friends, as we wanted to ensure if they were going to eat meat -- they were getting it from a farm like Tara Firma that does it in the right way. The best part of the CSA was their pet share as we realized buying offal from this farm would be a great compromise for our dogs (who were rebelling against our plant-based diet experiment) as we just wanted to provide our dogs protein with leftovers / byproduct without creating additional demand on the meat industry. Our pet share included amazing proteins like heart, tongue, cheeks, as well as more indulgent items like liver and kidney. Even the trotters and bones I would use to make broth in order to flavor / disguise our dogs' vegetarian kibble haha :) We also occasionally received some freezer burn meats, which cannot be sold for human consumption but safe (and very drool-worthy) for our dogs! Unfortunately, the pet share program has been discontinued but there are still plenty of diverse offal options in the farm store! Overall, a great local farm to support and highly recommend a visit!

We finally found this place and were so excited to try it! It was my first visit to the area and it was absolutely gorgeous to drive out there. The orchard is lovely and the staff are so kind, attentive and informative. I called ahead to check that they have parking on site and that helped alot! When you get there staff helps with parking and then you go get the U pick supplies and make your way to the orchard. The green apples were limited but we found alot of red ones. The experience was fabulous! After picking we paid for the apples and got some fresh organic apple slushies along with some sweet treats! Absolutely 10/10 We enjoyed this in the orchard and it was really charming! Highly recommend this specially with kids! Note- They have bathrooms on site and you can pay with cash or card to get the apples.

First light farm is now called SUNCATCHER Farms, on Bodega Ave. in Petaluma. The new owners took…read moreover after working for First light, gaining all of the insights to fabulous organic farming. 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. They setup a table right at the entry of the barn, and they are wearing masks, so everything is very safe. The owners Bree and Patrick, will go out of their way for you, and are so kind! Check Instagram under Suncatcher Farms for their Sat hours.

What an amazing experience!…read more For $40, you get to explore the farm, meet baby goats, learn more about the milk and cheese process, and enjoy a fantastic charcuterie board at the end. The goats are adorable. They are not scared of people at all. They ran up to us when we entered their area, and even withstood the hands of excited kids. The sheep were curious and bleated a lot. It was really informative to see the sheep being milked, and learning about the cheese-making process. It's clear that everyone involved in this operation is passionate about animals and farm life. The owners, Tamara and David, were so nice to talk to. I especially liked that they acknowledged the native land and are committed to reducing waste as much as possible, from having the water go up to the irrigation system, to make a delicious bagel chips from their stale bagels. The charcuterie experience at the end was so tasty. They give so much food, and you can also buy more cheese just to bring home. We got a block for $15. It was cool to eat the cheese when you literally saw the process of its creation minutes prior. You're able to bring doggie bags home as well. Don't even get me started on how beautiful the house is. I cannot recommend visiting this farm enough. It's great to go on a date, with family, friends, kids, etc. Make a trip out of it and visit Hog Island Oysters, the Point Reyes Lighthouse, Brickmaiden Breads, or other great businesses in the area!

On Sept 12th, and again on the 19th, they are offering their first ever Orchard to Oven Apple Pie workshops. Kathy Tresch, farmer, and owner of the orchard, is awesome, and knows so much about apples, and the land that she organically farms. You can find her apples at the Petaluma Farmer's Market, as well as a little road side stand she sets up on Walker Road when they are in season. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING tastes better than her Pink Ladies. She also has Honey Crisps and they are amazing! My mouth sings when I bite into them. Meloni Courtway taught the pie class, and for $48 you couldn't have asked for a better hands on class on how to make pies, and you even get to take your pie home with you. It's a steal for the fun you will have during your 3 hour class. You get to go and pick the apples yourselves, and then make your pie. What a hidden gem. Get in on this one now.

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.
