Farms and Produce Stands
Tierra Vegetables is a beloved family farm growing everything from asparagus to zucchini for more than 35 years. Visit the inviting farm stand to buy whatever their farm is growing, at the peak of quality and freshness. You’ll also find goodies like culinary gifts from their kitchen, dried chilies, and wool products from the Shetland sheep.
Imwalle Gardens is another popular Santa Rosa farm that not only delivers fresh produce to local Sonoma County restaurants but also has a produce stand for visitors to pick up a large variety of quality fruit and vegetables, and even plants and seeds from their nursery.
Muelrath Ranches is the perfect place to celebrate autumn because from late September to late October, the ranch grows 21 varieties of pumpkins, along with gourds and winter squash. You may also find fun hayrides, a corn maze, or a hay pyramid. There are typically beverages for sale and a nice picnic area to relax and take in the view. Check the website for events like antique tractor displays and the one weekend when pups are allowed at the patch.
