18 Reasons is hitting the road! Join us on a tour led by Adam Davidoff and Ryan Power on their rustic farm, New Family Farm, in Sebastopol, CA. What sets New Family Farm apart is their embrace of the rawness of farming, there is beauty in making something out of nothing. Ryan and Adam use draft horses to plow their fields and they have taken the time to understand that choice from an economic perspective. The main theme of this tour is the story of their burgeoning farm enterprise - they were driven by idealism and are now on the rising tide of their next step, putting pen to paper and creating an economic model that supports their ability to live by their ideals.

As they prepare for the winter season, they have invited us to participate in a full range of fall farm activities: washing root vegetables, brushing draft horses, and hopefully bottling this year's apple wine. Be sure to wear your muck boots, bring layers, and pack a water bottle!

We will providing a delicious vegetarian lunch using New Family Farm's produce, cooked by our Program Director Michelle McKenzie. We will not be providing transportation but will help facilitate carpooling.
