Peterson's Farm

Voted Petaluma's Best Local Farm 2006 by Petaluma Magazine


All farm products are raised pesticide and herbicide free and
the chickens have free run in the poultry yard.

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. Come to buy one for your family. It is delicious as well as beautiful!

Honey - Pumpkins -Dried Flowers-Tomatoes, Both types of Persimmons -
Beeswax with Olive Oil Skin Softener Bars - Farm Animals -
School Tours with Educational talks about
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 a few more persimmons, winter squash and 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 50 cents or 5 for two dollars.

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.
