CGF Farm Tour: A Day Among Chickens and Artichokes


The CGF “Traditions and Innovations” Coastal Farm Tour last Saturday was a huge success! We’re all still talking here at the CGF offices about how much fun we had visiting Giusti Farms, TomKat Ranch, Fifth Crow Farm, and Pie Ranch. More than 50 guests joined us to hear the entertaining and informative presentations on sustainable farming practices, the benefits of rotational grazing, the struggle to preserve coastal agricultural lands, and much more. We saw many happy chickens foraging for bugs, harvested some wheat, and enjoyed delicious food from Pescadero Country Store and Pie Ranch’s famous pies!

It was a day of learning about the challenges faced in farming sustainably, and the partnerships between farmers and schools, nonprofits, and community leaders to ensure that everyone has access to locally grown produce. Many thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this a great day!

CGF is hosting a variety of events and gatherings this year in celebration of our 50th anniversary. Check out our website (www.greenfoothills.org) to learn all about upcoming events!
