Peterson's Farm

Rated in the top 5 best pumpkin patches in the San Francisco Bay Area. Praised as a good place to take small children 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 were too busy hosting our grand daughter's wedding and celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary to make a family farm entry in the fair this year!

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

the scenic historic countryside of Sonoma County. It was once one of the many chicken ranches Petaluma was famous for.
Directions from Highway 101: 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.

variety of pumpkins
Every fall we grow a variety of pumpkins. Many are excellent for cooking.


All the honey has been harvested now. We have to leave every hive with a winter supply so we will not be greedy. Check with us in the spring for the next honey harvest!

Call or e-mail now to book spring school tours. E-mail is really the best!
