Calolea Olive Oil will be open on this Farm Tour July 7th 11-4PM

HIT — Normally we have to wait for the fall to get local ag tours, but this area’s growers are realizing the value of year-round tours, and are opening up for the first Sunday of the month.

So the Sierra Oro Farm Trail is providing an opportunity for the public to meet growers in July.

Van tours or private vehicles will be able to track around the county, visiting wineries and olive oil makers on July 7.

The farm trail is a great event that provides lunch, a tour and extraordinary insight into the area’s ag sector.

Thanks also go to the growers, some of whom are interrupting a work day to say welcome.
