Our hikes, tours, and talks visit some of the farmers and ranchers profiled in the book Marin Farm Families—Stories & Recipes. Their lives revolve around the rhythms and tempos of Marin agriculture. Some are ranchers with thousands of acres of land and a legacy spanning three or four generations; others are first-generation growers leasing land and making their own history, one day at a time. Look for the in the Spring descriptions, and be sure to order a copy of this little book about diversity, adversity, tenaciousness, extraordinary devotion, and FOOD for yourself at The MALT Shop. Proceeds benefit MALT's work of preserving Marin County farmland.

Due to ongoing concerns about Foot-and-Mouth Disease, we ask that individuals who have visited farms outside the U.S.A. up to 10 days prior to events not participate in farm tours. Weather can change quickly in West Marin. Bring a jacket for warmth, a hat for protection from the sun, and a daypack for food & drinks. Most tours are not appropriate for young children. Please check with MALT . For more detailed directions to a Hikes & Tours meeting place, phone 415-663-1158, Monday – Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. or email hikesntours@malt.org.
