Guided tastings and farm tours run through the orchard and mill, where visitors can see the pressing process firsthand.

The farm stand runs Thursday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., March through November.

Pleasants Valley Iris Farm grows more than 400 varieties of Tall Bearded iris in its viewing garden outside Vacaville, including reblooming and scented types. Rhizomes are hand-dug and shipped directly from the farm every August. Peak bloom runs April through May, when the farm opens its gardens to visitors — the owners say to bring a picnic lunch and stay a while rather than just walk through.

Vacaville

Bar J Ranch is a u-pick apple orchard on Cantelow Road outside Vacaville, growing apples across the property for pick-your-own visitors during fall harvest. Listings describe it as a working produce farm rather than an event venue, though current hours and varieties are thin online — call ahead before the drive.

American Canyon

ABC Tree Farms runs this pumpkin patch and inflatable park on Broadway in American Canyon, built for kids ages 2 to 12 in the more urban stretch of the Bay Area.

It's a working apiary business more than a public attraction, though visits can be arranged.

Dixon

Family-owned since 1979, Silveyville Road runs two seasons back to back: a fall pumpkin patch with over 20 varieties, a corn maze, and hayrides, then a choose-and-cut Christmas tree lot with over 10,000 trees including Oregon Noble and Nordmann fir.

Petaluma

A Sonoma County regional park on land that was farmed for decades by the Cardoza family, who grew pumpkins here before the county acquired the property for public open space. The park now protects Tolay Lake itself, wetlands, and grassland trails between Petaluma and the Sonoma Valley, with that farming history part of what the site's interpretive programs cover.

Davis

Great Bear Vineyards is a woman-led, CCOF-certified organic estate outside Davis, founded in 2014 by Jenny and Marcus. The family farms with wild yeast fermentation and deficit irrigation, keeping output to a few thousand cases a year, and has won Double Gold for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Best in Class for Tempranillo. The property also keeps a lavender field and presses its own olive oil. Tasting room open Thursday through Saturday.

Novato

Lovepatch Farms raises miniature horses on a small property in Novato, about 29 miles north of San Francisco, and runs appointment-only tours built around hands-on time with the animals. The farm advertises its tours and presentations as accessible for all ages and abilities, and draws visitors from well beyond the Bay Area. It's a niche operation — no crops, no produce stand — just the horses and a visit booked in advance.

San Rafael

Marin Convention & Visitors Bureau operates from 1 Mitchell Boulevard in San Rafael as the county's destination marketing organization, not a farm itself. It publishes a visitor's guide, lodging directory, and event calendar covering Marin County, including its farms, ranches, and agricultural tourism. Reach the office at (415) 925-2060.

Petaluma

The Happy Dahlia Farm grew more than 100 varieties of dahlias on East Washington Street in Petaluma, selling cut stems, plants, and tubers and taking wedding orders through its Wednesday-to-Sunday season.
