SUMMARY:Showa Olive Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:Showa Olive Farm Tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContinuing our 2023 farm tours\, next we will be visiting Cloverdale and touring \nShowa Farm\nThursday\, October 5\, 10 am\n26070 River Road\, Cloverdale\nTickets are $10 for Slow Food members\, and $20 for non-members. \nWe will tour the farm and taste the Arbequina olive oil with Geoff Peters\, the owner. We will see the olive trees full of olives right before harvest and learn about his farming practices— Showa is both organic and biodynamic. There will also be time to visit the animals he has on the property (chickens\, goats\, sheep\, and two donkeys). After our tour\, Geoff will host a tasting of his award-winning olive oil. \nThe ground will be uneven on this tour so we recommend you wear flat\, comfortable shoes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Your Tickets Here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nHarvesting at night \n\n\n\n\n\nShowa Farm\nLocated in the Alexander Valley\, Showa Farm is family-owned. We use best practices based on biodynamic and organic farming principles. The olive orchards are 90% Arbequina olive trees with the remaining trees being pollinators. \nOur estate-grown organic extra virgin olive oil is made solely from hand-picked Arbequina olives. Using well water\, drip irrigation\, low-density no-till farming\, we organically press each small batch to create this flavorful and super high-quality EVOO. \n100-percent of our electric usage comes from our solar panels and our water is all-natural aquifer well water administered to the orchard using drip irrigation. We raise goats\, chickens\, a burro\, a horse and dogs. We grow fruits and nuts as well as vegetables to add to the diversity. \nOf the 30 acres on the farm\, only 8 are devoted to olive trees with another 2 acres devoted to other non-commercial organic gardens\, trees\, and food production. Even the 8 acres of olive trees are planted 16-18 feet center on center allowing very large areas for air circulation and lots of sunlight. This low-density approach has allowed us to be disease and pest free and has improved the quality of our olive oil. \nShowa was selected as one of the top 100 olive oils in the world three times at the New York International Olive Oil Competition.

There’s a job for everyone! \nWhen we finish\, the produce will be delivered to organizations that feed people in need of healthy food. \nWear work clothes and bring a water bottle\, hat\, and gloves. We’ll also learn a bit about this farm and its mission. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nFarm to Pantry Executive Director Duskie Estes \n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2008\, the nonprofit Farm to Pantry was launched to serve a need in our local community: to provide a continuous supply of fresh\, healthy produce to our most vulnerable neighbors who lack access to it by cultivating a community of growers and volunteers. The mission then and now is to bring together communities to end food injustice and reverse global warming by rescuing and sharing locally-grown food with those who have been systematically marginalized. We envision a just food system in which everyone has access to healthy food that honors and nourishes our community and heals the planet through eliminating food waste. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nFarm to Fight Hunger owners Bruce Mentzer and Anthony Solar \n\n\n\n\n\nFarm to Fight Hunger is a non-profit organization that grows\, harvests and delivers fresh nutritious produce\, free of charge\, to those in Sonoma County in need of healthy food. Eggs layed by happy pastured hens are also donated to local food banks. We farm in an earth-friendly sustainable manner and work to improve the soil health\, therefore improving the nutritional content of the food we grow\, increasing the amount of carbon the soil can hold and reducing greenhouse gases. We will work to make the farm its own healthy balanced ecosystem\, with habitat for both native plants and beneficial insects. \nFarm to Fight Hunger is a Slow Food in Sonoma County Snail of Approval farm.
