The Sonoma County Farm Trails group invites visitors to experience Blossoms, Bees and Barnyard Babies April 29–30, a self-guided, family-friendly tour that allows participants to map out their own routes, selecting from dozens of locations, for a full weekend of farm-hopping. Adding to the cute factor, expect to see baby bunnies, lambs, chicks, dairy goats, piglets and even water buffalo calves. Other activities include beekeeping demonstrations, farm tours, tastings (honey, cheese, wine, olive oil, jams, juices, etc.), games and crafts for kids, flower arranging, and more. Many farms offer snacks, lunches and picnic sites. The tour and most stops along the trails are free.
