Sonoma County Farm Trails is a great resource for finding locally grown produce and artisan products close to the San Francisco Bay Area. Farm Trails is a non-profit organization that started in 1973 to provide a way for local farmers to market directly to customers. Over the years their vision has expanded to promoting and preserving sustainable and diverse agriculture in Sonoma County, which is 100 miles north of San Francisco.
The organization represents farming, animal husbandry, cheese manufacturing, wine, flowers, herbs, fiber and a host of artisan products. Many of the farms offer CSA subscriptions, road-side stands, and on-site tours. Most have an online presence through web sites, blogs, and email.

Several events are associated with Farm Trails, including plant sales, fund raising events, the Gravenstein Apple Fair, Weekend Along the Farm Trails, and educational venues. The organization publishes a guide, which enables you to locate and contact growers. This is a great way to locate and purchase products and produce right from the source, support local business, and support local, sustainable agriculture. To learn more: www.farmtrails.org/.
