Our 2007 Harvest Fair exhibit shows a sample of the many things we grow.
Our Cinderella pumpkin won the blue ribbon in the commercial pumpkin competition at the 2007 Harvest Fair. This year our pie pumpkin and our mini-pumpkin won the blue ribbons.

Honey Bees in the Spring,
Summer and Fall by appointment.
Ray and Ettamarie Peterson invite you to
bring the family
for a visit to their friendly family farm. Appointments are needed in all months except October.
We have free range eggs for sale at this time.
The fall tours for school and club groups were a huge success. We will take appointments for spring tours now. The spring tours teach that about bees as part of the insect world, a visit with our animals and a packet of sunflower seeds to take home. The cost is $5 per student. Tours are scheduled to take an hour and a half. The picnic area may be available for your group to eat here, too. Some children also want to buy a honey stick for an extra 25 cents or 5 for a dollar.
Located just north of Petaluma, California, this farm is in
the scenic historic countryside of Sonoma County. It was once one of the many chicken ranches Petaluma was famous for. Leave Highway 101 at the north end of town and go South on Petaluma Blvd. North. That will take you to Gossage Ave. Gossage Ave. is the next street after the Cinnabar Theater. Make a right turn. Go up the hill to 636 Gossage Ave.
Look for the Farm Trails Sign on the right.

We grow a variety of pumpkins. We still have the ones that are excellent for cooking.
Spring is swarm season so Ettamarie has already been called to catch some swarms around Petaluma. These will replace any hives she lost and some will go to 4-H children.
Call or e-mail now to book spring school tours. E-mail is really the best!
