Farm Trails
Pick up a FREE Sonoma County Farm Trails map on the web or at the Petaluma Visitor Center, Historic Depot Building, 210 Lakeville St. and hit the road to explore Petaluma and Sonoma County farms.
A life-on-the-farm experience featuring sheep, llamas, honeybees, butterflies and, of course, chickens is included
