Slow Money Farm Fest 2026
Learn and engage about exciting sustainable food and ag businesses in Northern California. The casual setting of a real working farm is a hands-on illustration of what it means to bring money back down to Earth. Through the farm tours, changemaker talks, entrepreneur showcase and community lunch, new relationships and friendships are formed that often lead to collaboration, funding and other connections.
Red Hill Ranch is a small family farm in Petaluma, CA. Originally a long standing dairy operation, it now features multiple small farm operations offering fresh local produce, berries, and grass-fed beef, alongside flowers and herbs.
