This January in Marin, you can hike the newly lush, green farms and ranches that cover our hills, or stay dry and warm and discover countless tasty treats along our Highway 1 Driving Guide. Look below for a monthly roundup of farm visits, walks, markets, nature talks, and volunteer opportunities.
The beautiful vistas of MALT-protected land you’ll encounter as you explore the region help support our thriving agricultural community, sustain biodiverse habitats, and connect us to our local food and fiber producers. We hope you will enjoy all the events Marin’s open spaces and working lands have to offer.
