Member Spotlight: Brooke Hazen, Gold Ridge Organic Farms By Sonoma County Farm Trails

Perched on the rolling hills of Sebastopol, Gold Ridge Organic Farms has become both a culinary and agricultural destination... Today, the property evokes a Tuscan villa, with the knowledgeable farmers and staff offering tastings, events, and award-winning artisanal estate products in its charming courtyard and farm shop.

...One of Brooke’s aims with the farm is to bridge culture and agriculture, and after one visit to Gold Ridge Organic Farms, you’ll discover that he has achieved that goal: [...] "The connection [being a Farm Triails member] offers with the consumers. After decades of being detached from the people who enjoy the food we produce, it feels so satisfying to meet those people and see first hand what it brings to their lives. Also, Farm Trails provides an invaluable opportunity for people to see and learn about what growing food really looks and feels like."
