Live Music & Dancing
Nothing finer than a stage, some hay bales, a dance floor and these guys playing live
from the field's edge!
Old Man Markley
On Stage: 9:00 p.m.
This 8-piece amalgamation of bluegrass and punk has shared the bill with big name acts such as Bad Religion, Flogging Molly, NOFX, and The Devil Makes Three; and they're coming to rock our tomato festival! We're talking about captivating three part harmonies, nimble instrumentation, and an energetic, raucous performance from this band filled with fiddle, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, guitar, washboard, drums, autoharp and a home-made washtub bass.
The West Nile Ramblers
On Stage: 6:30 p.m.
With a combination of country, western swing, bluegrass, jazz, and original tunes, The West Nile Ramblers of Yolo county will have us dancing and singing along to their guaranteed energetic and eclectic western sound.
The Pleasant Valley Boys
On Stage: 4:00 p.m.
Vocal harmonies, razor sharp mandolin, and old time exact banjo by Matt and George are the central elements of the Pleasant Valley Boy's stylish and traditional bluegrass music done right. Coming from Dixon, CA and backed by expert stand-up bass, fiddle, and guitar you don't want to miss this terrific bluegrass ensemble.

home and enjoy.

Throughout the day, casually stroll about the farm on self-guided farm walks
checking on the fruit trees, farm animals and identifying the various field crops as you go.
Kid-Friendly Farm Fun:
You know kids are having fun by the laughter in the air. Swing by and say a gentle hello to our farm animal friends. Kids and adults can join in on art activities with Jesse Pruet
