Summer Orchard Hike

Don’t just tour the farm — explore it alongside the very farmer who built it, Brooke Hazen, in this immersive, behind-the-scenes experience.

Step into the heart of Gold Ridge Organic Farms for an orchard hike led by our founder and farmer, Brooke Hazen. With over two decades of dedication poured into these 88 acres of certified organic farmland, Brooke will guide you through the orchards and share the story of how he transformed this land into a thriving sanctuary for heirloom apples, olives, and citrus.

Along the way, you'll explore our 70+ heirloom apple varieties and 21 olive cultivars, learn about our organic farming practices, and get your questions answered by the person who knows this land better than anyone

Please note: this walk covers rugged, uneven farmland terrain with some up and down and slight elevation gain. This is a moderate to challenging hike, and at least an intermediate level of fitness is recommended for participation. Sturdy footwear suitable for hiking is required. No heels, sandals, or open-toed footwear permitted. Non-slip, closed-toed shoes are required for entry into our production areas. Please bring sun protection, refillable water bottles, and adequate layers, as you will be outdoors in the elements for the majority of the time. Weather and temperatures in West Sonoma County can vary greatly within the span of a single day.
