Peterson's Farm

Rated in the top 5 best pumpkin patches in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2009. Praised as a good place to take small children for pumpkin picking for pumpkin picking by the Marin Mommies' site. (Thanks for your kind words!)

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

This Harvest Fair exhibit shows a sample of the many things we grow. We haven't had enough time to enter the fairs again. It was fun when the grandchildren were more available to pitch in but now they are older and have college and jobs to concentrate on.

Here's our toast to our family and friends that shared our
50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration in fall of 2009!
