Weekend fun: Devil's Gulch Ranch Family Day
Fri
5
2008
I'm always a fan of further teaching our kids that food doesn't really come from boxes and bags but rather the actual EARTH. I wish I could join my super cool friend Jeanine with her daughter Pepper this Sunday as they hike around and work the land in Marin.
Spend a day with your children at Devil's Gulch Ranch, a small, sustainable, diversified farm in the heart of Marin County.
Mark and Myriam Pasternak and their two daughters raise rabbits, pigs, chickens, quarter horses, asparagus, grapes, and more. They run a summer camp so offer a wealth of experiences for the whole family including rope- and basket- making, archery, felting, hiking, creek exploration, animal care, and much more.
TIME: Meet at 10 A.M. The event ends at 2 P.M.
WHERE TO MEET: From Nicasio Square, turn west into the driveway of the Nicasio Land Company. Push button on electric gate, cross bridge, and follow gravel road 1/2 mile; turn left (uphill) at Devil's Gulch Ranch sign. Go one mile to the top of the hill, pass vineyard, and park where directed.
WHAT TO BRING: Water, picnic lunch
DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY: Family Event
COST: $25 / $ 30 non-members ($10 for children, $65 for a family of 4 or more).
Pre-registration required for this event.
More information at the Marin Agricultural Land Trust Site or the Devil's Gulch Ranch Site.
[These Devil's Gulch Piggies are for pork.
