Farm & Barn Tour: Free Self-Guided Day on Placer County Farms

Mark your calendar for a relaxed Sunday drive through the countryside

October 2, 2025

Create your own route and pop into as many stops as you like—each farm offers different activities, demos, and vendors.

  • Family-friendly hours: 10:00 AM–4:00 PM on Sunday, Oct 12, 2025. 
  • Free admission; shop farm goods, flowers, and locally made treats as you go.
  • Full destination list and map are released closer to the event date—plan your route then.

Good to Know

  • No tickets or reservations required.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes; expect dirt paths and uneven ground.
  • Bring water, sun protection, and a small cooler if you’ll purchase perishables.
  • Restrooms and stroller access vary by location; pack a changing kit just in case.
  • Parking is on farms—carpooling is encouraged at busy stops.

Start with the stops nearest home (Roseville/Rocklin/Lincoln) to avoid mid-day traffic, then head toward Loomis/Penryn/Auburn for scenic finishes and easy dinner options along I-80.
