Tours

Come explore OAEC's 80-acre demonstration site in western Sonoma County, California. Our Sunday tours showcase our organic gardens and orchards, intentional community and programs. The terrain is very hilly and unpaved, with dirt or gravel paths. Sturdy shoes, brimmed hat or warm layers (depending on weather) and water bottles are recommended.

Please use the 2nd driveway and park in the upper lot, near the greenhouses. Tours begin and end at the nursery.

Scroll down for dates, or take the Visual Tour instead.
