About Sonoma County Farm Trails
With its mission to help ensure the continuing economic viability of Sonoma County agriculture by instilling an appreciation of agriculture as a vital part of our community and lifestyle, Farm Trails was established in 1973 by local Sonoma County farmers to create community among food producers and establish a stronger connection between farmers and the public. Farm Trails continues to serve as a local resource, producing Sonoma County’s premier agricultural Map and Guide. Their primary annual fundraiser is the Gravenstein Apple Fair, celebrating the heirloom apple and Sonoma County’s rural traditions. Farm Trails is a 501(c)6 nonprofit organization. Its sister organization, Farm Trails Foundation, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that funds scholarships for ag students and young farmers. For more information, visit FarmTrails.org.
