Rancho Siempre Verde Fall Fest!
|
|
Our neighbors, Rancho Siempre Verde, are hosting their annual Fall Fest! They write:
"This is your chance to come to see the coast at its most beautiful, pick a few apples, cut your own flowers, make a fall wreath, hop on a swing overlooking the deep blue sea, romp in the straw, and (of course) pick the perfect pumpkin. This is a low-key event, just a way to come out and wander, harvest, picnic, smell the flowers, and share the outside with people you love. We are a small family farm that has been cultivating this soil with close friends for 55 years. We grow organic vegetables, fruit, flowers, Christmas trees, and pumpkins and love to share with others.
We intentionally limit the number of people at one time so that it remains an intimate event (without lines, traffic, or chaos) to maintain a more farm-than-amusement park experience. So get a ticket and come enjoy the beauty and fun of fall on the coast."
Buy tickets in advance to reserve a spot for a discount or a limited number are sold at the gate. More information at rsvtrees.com.
One ticket is for one car (with up to 6 people), which includes:
- Five pumpkins (1 large, 2 medium, and 2 small) of your choosing.
- 3.5 hours of activities (swings, slides, haybales, tractor rides, fall wreath-making materials, picnic tables, and good vibes)
- A bunch of farm-grown flowers
- A bag of our own delicious apples/pears
- Parking
Open Saturdays & Sundays (9-5)
September 30th/October 1st
October 7th/8th
October 14th/15th
October 21st/22nd
*All of the profits from the Fall Festival allow us to grow a diversity of high-quality organic vegetables for the homeless and food-insecure members of the bay area community (see food donation program on our website).

Huge shout out to Leonard Diggs, our Director of Farmer and Rancher Opportunities, for being recognized by @grist as a 2023 Grist Climate Fixer! Leonard oversees the Regenerator program at our Cascade Ranch site, a farmer provisioning program aimed at helping women, people of color, and other historically underrepresented groups establish regenerative farms. He is deeply passionate and committed to reimagining the food system in truly transformative ways, and it's so great to see him recognized for his work. Congrats, Leonard! The world needs more Climate Fixers like you!
