The ranch is a short walk away.
Owned and operated by the
Kirkland family since 1867,
the historic Woolly Egg Ranch is
the only working, sustainable farm
in Tamalpais Valley. The farm blends the
past with the present; simple living like our grandparents
but with some modern updates.
The ewes should be lambing and the hens will be hatching
a new batch of chicks. If the weather is good you can
meet the “Woolly Swarm”-the resident honey and pollination experts.
The tour includes discussion about
growing food, caring for fruit trees,
the water collection system for dry
summers, the solar system for electricity,
equipment run on bio fuels, the
environmentally friendly chicken coops,
chickens, sheep and hopefully spring lambs.
The fields can be muddy and uneven, wear
appropriate footwear and dress warmly. Bring sunscreen.
