While the intense heat of the summer is upon us, we are looking forward to the feel of fall and harvest season. Fall’s arrival also means that the Mariposa Farm & Ranch Tour will present you with an opportunity to celebrate Mariposa County’s rural character, showcasing a sampling of the county’s agricultural and natural heritage, the talents of local artists and hand craft products. Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 24th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Drive through rural Mariposa County during harvest time where 5 locations are opening up the barn doors to welcome you. Raw Roots Farm is harvesting three acres of the freshest vegetables. Mariposa-Yosemite Slate Quarry highlights how to harvest materials in a way that protects the landscape. Epic Alpaca Ranch shares their passion for these lively creatures that produce wonderful fiber.  Sierra Cider welcomes everyone to tour their apple orchard and taste their delicious hard cider. Betty Massey is all about conservation. Learn how she captures her rain water for her garden and home.

Mariposa Farm & Ranch Tour will be a day of adventure and activities which include stewardship practices of our natural resources, art, history, fresh food, Mariposa products, workshops and family fun.  In addition, a special brunch at Raw Roots and dinner at Sierra Cider is offered featuring local produce in the tradition of Farm to Fork.

You are invited to share your agricultural property, your art, your hand made products, your knowledge, and your goodwill from a non-profit association related to agricultural or conserving our natural resource, please contact us as we would love to have you join us.
