4th Annual Placer County Farm & Barn Tour

Back to the Farm

The 4th annual Placer Farm and Barn Tour on Sunday, October 14, 2007 was a great success!

Join us next year on Sunday, October 12, 2008 for the 5th annual tour.

The Placer Farm and Barn Tour celebrates Placer County's agricultural heritage and the family farms that feed us. This is a fun-filled day for families and people of all ages to explore the farms and ranches that dot Placer County's rural landscape.

Each year there are new farms and ranches to visit, with an ever-changing variety of activities such as horse-drawn wagon rides, and demonstrations of all types, including mule-drawn farm equipment, pond maintenance and fruit tree grafting.

Many farms offer samples of farm-fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, local meats, baked goods, olives, olive oils and local wines. Most farms will host local Placer County artists who will be drawing, painting on canvas or throwing pots as well as offering hand-made artwork for sale.

The centerpoint of the day is PlacerArts' AGROart™Competiton at the Blue Goose Fruit Shed in Loomis, where talented artists of every age craft quirky sculptures out of fresh fruits and vegetables and vie for cash prizes.

For additional information call (530) 885 5670.

The purpose of the Placer Farm & Barn Tour is:

to connect area residents with local farmers
to educate the non-agricultural public about local agriculture
to make Placer County an agricultural tourism destination
to build a philosophically & economically active support base for Placer agriculture
