Take a Farm Tour at Love Apple Farms

This location is shown only to members

Come take a Sunday morning farm tour at one of the Bay Area's best-known farms, where the specialty is Love Apples (tomatoes) and the growing is bio-dynamic - it's a farm and garden lover's heaven up here!

This one-hour, docent-led walking tour is a great introduction to the Love Apple way of life, a farm known as the main grower for Manresa Restaurant in Los Gatos. But in addition to their claim to fame as Manresa's grower, this Santa Cruz Mountains farm makes a living both growing and teaching - they sell seeds, worm castings from their own worm farm, and all kinds of gardening and growing supplies, but they also offer some great classes and weekend seminars on everything from how to make the perfect pie crust (taught by chef-blogger Pim), to "How-to" type classes on raising chickens in your backyard, or installing a rain water irrigation system. 

Let's go check them out - farm tours make great Day Trips! And besides, now is the perfect time to plan your Spring garden and get the inspiration going, or just enjoy a relaxing time walking through the farm and getting some fresh air.

The cost is just $20 per person, and please sign up directly with Love Apple Farms by using this link: http://loveapplefarmstour.eventbrite.com/

    Loved it; it was so inspiring to see and hear what they are doing, and to think I could create a micro-farm in my backyard! Great to meet others similarly interested!

    Wonderful experience. Like visiting Napa or Sonoma, but close to home.
