Farm Trails members are rolling out the green carpet and welcoming friends and neighbors to join them in a celebration of Sonoma County goodness. It all starts with a meet-your-farmer cheese and brews social, followed by a gourmet spread from Chefs Daniel Kedan and Marianna Gardenhire of Backyard restaurant in Forestville. Their menu will be sourced entirely from Farm Trails members. A silent auction will give guests the opportunity to bid on unique items and one-of-a-kind experiences. After dinner, it’s time for some foot-stomping and heel-kicking to the irresistibly danceable “Sonomacana” sounds of Cahoots.
Proceeds help Farm Trails to produce the 42nd Annual Gravenstein Apple Fair. Tickets are $75 per person, or $900 per table of ten and must be purchased in advance on Brown Paper Tickets.

With its mission to help ensure the continuing economic viability of Sonoma County agriculture by instilling an appreciation of ag as a vital part of our community and lifestyle, Farm Trails was established in 1973 by local Sonoma County farmers to create community among food producers and establish a stronger connection between farmers and the public. Farm Trails continues to serve as a local resource, producing Sonoma County’s premier agricultural map and guide. Their primary annual fundraiser is the Gravenstein Apple Fair, celebrating the heirloom apple and Sonoma County’s rural traditions. Signature events include farm-to-fork feasts, a barn dance, and seasonal farm tours like “Blossoms, Bees, & Barnyard Babies” in the spring and “Weekend along the Farm Trails” in the fall. Farm Trails is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization.
