Capay Valley Open Farm Day

Sunday, October 5 | 11 am - 4 pm

Free & Open to All

Presented by Eco Farm as part of the Hoes Down Harvest Festival

The Capay Valley is home to a vibrant community of small and mid-size farms. On Sunday, October 5, you're invited to experience the heart of this region during our Free Open Farm Day.

Explore the farms of the Capay Valley

The mission of the Hoes Down Harvest Festival has always been to connect people more deeply to the land, the soil, and the farmers who grow their food. We believe the best way to do that is to invite you onto the farms themselves. That’s what Open Farm Day is all about—giving you a firsthand experience of what it means to live and farm in the Capay Valley.

After you leave Hoes Down, we invite you to visit these farms for a tour, workshop or to shop at their farm stands.

Participation in Open Farm Day does not require a Hoes Down ticket.

  • No ticket or reservation required to visit farms

  • Some farms will have paid workshops. Pre-registration is required for all workshops.

    • Tickets for workshops sold online here OR at the Hoes Down Info Booth.
