That afternoon, we will hike on the sweeping hills and through the classic oak woodlands of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park-assembled from historic ranches in a series of TPL projects. Leaving the coast, we will journey through bucolic landscapes for two nights in St. Having worked up an appetite, we will enjoy a farm-fresh lunch in friendly Point Reyes Station-including such local delicacies as cheese from Cowgirl Creamery and world-famous Hog Island Oysters-followed by an afternoon of biking, kayaking on the bay, or relaxing in the serene surroundings of our lodge. And we will visit Limantour Beach, a popular location for viewing raptors. The next morning, we will explore Point Reyes National Seashore with a walk to wild Abbotts Lagoon Beach, which attracts thousands of shorebirds and waterfowl in fall and winter.
As the primary link between farmers and eaters, Marin Organic is committed to promoting an organic agriculture in which growers and the people who rely on their products recognize their mutual interdependence. We have invited Helge Hellberg of Marin Organic-an innovative association of organic producers in Marin County-for a conversation on local organic farming and ranching and the vital connection between conservation, healthy food, and healthy communities. Following an afternoon hike with experts from the Point Reyes Bird Observatory, we will arrive at our home for two nights, Manka’s Inverness Lodge, a 1910 lodge built in Arts and Crafts Style in the heart of the national seashore overlooking Tomales Bay. The next morning, we will take a guided walk in Gerbode Valley, once envisioned for a “new town” of 20,000 people before a 1960s conservation effort protected the valley as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and helped to launch the founding of The Trust for Public land.įrom there we will travel one of America’s most scenic coastal highways to the hamlet of Bolinas, where we picnic at Warren Weber’s Star Route Farms, the oldest continuously certified organic grower in California. We will begin our journey at Cavallo Point, an understated luxury lodge set in an idyllic location at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge.
