Description

First Wednesdays in spring (March-May) & Saturdays, April 18th & May 16th 10am-2pm

Reconnect with yourself and nature during Open Farm Days at historic Wakamatsu Farm. The site of the first Japanese colony in North America, Wakamatsu Farm is representative of the deep ties we have to the land, and includes many unique farm features. Learn about native plants in our demonstration garden; commune with an approximately 156 year-old Zelkova serrata (Japanese Elm), planted by colonists and maintained by ARC; spot native bird and wildlife on an easy 1.5 mile stroll around our beautiful lake; and step into history with a visit to Charles Graner's original 1850's farmhouse. Points of interest are mainly outdoors, reached by dirt trail or unpaved road over generally flat terrain. Amenities are limited, so plan for rugged outdoor leisure. Please manage your own trash and leave the land better than you find it. Steady rain or temperatures over 100 degrees will cancel.  Check ARC’s event calendar for updates. For private tours, please call 530-621-1224.  Find out more at: ARConservancy.org/Wakamatsu. Cost: $10 per vehicle. Buses and large vans are $5 per person. All proceeds directly benefit Wakamatsu Farm. A detailed email will be sent once you register online at https://app.dvforms.net/api/dv/66ew7e
