Journey Along the Farm Trails
Along county roads, especially near Sebastopol, there are signs on
driveways that say Farm Trails. These are local farmers, craft people,
and gardeners who sell their products and produce to the public from
their farm. When you see such a sign you are free to drive in to see
what's available.
There are many along Gravenstein Highway, between Forestville and
Sebastopol.
- Kozlowski Farms, 5566 Highway 116 North, Forestville,
who specialize in raspberries and apple products but are open
year round.
- Green Valley Farm, 9345 Ross Station Rd, Sebastopol,
which sells blueberries in June and July.
- Foxglove Farm, near Kozlowski's, who specialize
in flowers and vegetables. There are many more: each farm should
have a brochure and map for the Farm Trails.
