There is a $10 charge for the walk which includes Il Fiorello’s seasonal scones, coffee service, and infused water served in the shady portico after the walk.

Space is limited to 15 participants and reservations are required. Contact Jane Hicks at hixholtz@earthlink.net or 707-553-8901 by Saturday, April 21, 2018 to reserve your space.

Il Fiorello’s shop will be open after the walk so bring cash or credit card if you would like to purchase their milled-onsite local olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and other items.

Please note: This is a working farm and commercial food facility. The terrain is uneven and may have animal holes. Due to commercial food licensing requirements, no outside food may be brought into the property due to food safety concerns.

Directions: Driving directions will be provided upon registration.
