Yes! Heritage Farms has been USDA Certified Organic since 1998. We maintain our certification through annual inspections and rigorous documentation of all our farming practices. Our certification number is available on request and displayed at our farm stand.

We're located at 1234 Heritage Lane in Sonoma Valley, California. We're about 45 minutes north of San Francisco and 15 minutes from downtown Sonoma. GPS coordinates and detailed directions are available on our contact page.

We practice regenerative organic agriculture, which goes beyond avoiding synthetic chemicals. We use cover cropping, crop rotation, composting, and no-till methods to build soil health. We also maintain hedgerows and pollinator habitats to support beneficial insects and wildlife.

We don't ship fresh produce to individual customers as freshness is our top priority. However, we do deliver to wholesale partners within a 50-mile radius. For retail customers, we offer CSA pickup, farm stand shopping, and farmers market locations throughout the Bay Area.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Members pay upfront at the beginning of the season and receive weekly boxes of freshly harvested produce throughout the growing season. It's a partnership between farmers and community members that provides farmers with working capital and members with ultra-fresh, seasonal produce.

Our main season runs from May through October (24 weeks). We also offer a winter share from November through March for members who want year-round produce. Signups typically begin in February for the summer season and September for winter shares.

Our standard CSA boxes are curated by our farm team to provide the best seasonal variety. However, members can note allergies or strong dislikes, and we'll substitute when possible. We also offer add-on items like eggs, flowers, and preserved goods that can be customized each week.

Members can place their share on hold for up to 3 weeks per season with advance notice. You can also designate a friend or neighbor to pick up your share in your absence. Unclaimed shares are donated to local food banks.

Peak Season (May-October): Thursday-Sunday, 9am-5pm
Winter Season (November-April): Friday-Sunday, 10am-4pm
Closed: Major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day)

Yes! We offer guided farm tours every Saturday at 10am during the growing season (May-October).

Private group tours can also be arranged.

Our tours are designed for all ages. Children are welcome and we have special activities for young visitors, including meeting our farm animals, scavenger hunts, and hands-on planting activities. We recommend closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.

Yes! Our restored century-old barn and gardens are available for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations. We can accommodate up to 150 guests and offer farm-to-table catering options. Visit our events page or contact us for availability and pricing.

We host seasonal farm dinners throughout the year, featuring multi-course meals prepared by guest chefs using ingredients harvested that same day. These events typically sell out quickly, so we recommend signing up for our newsletter to receive early access to tickets.
