Located just 5 min from Dillon Beach and 2 minutes from the lovely town of Tomales (with Route One Bakery on the best on our coast!) This site has it's own private entrance and parking. The Great Blue Heron is a refurbished trailer nestled beneath a large bending willow tree, and abutting the Estero San Antonio Waterway (just 10 ft. away from the waters edge). The surrounding space has lots of flat areas for additional tent set up, and direct access for canoes or kayaks. There is plenty of space for picnicking, laying out, lounging in the hammock with a good book, or BBQing up a local seasonal feast.

First edition of "the last Transhumance" photography Book
VALUED AT $150 - START BID $100
“The Last Transhumance” describes in photography the extinction of a millennial way of life. It is a project about shepherds who still practice transhumance, who walk with their animals in order to find food. They sleep together with their animals all the time, either summer or winter, near the herd, in order to protect it against wolves and bears attacks. For some years I followed families of shepherds from Italy, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Wales and Romania.

Four month winter CSA from Red H Farm in Sebastopol
VALUED AT $600.00 STRT BID $650
(We always try to support our farmers while garnering support for Transhumance)
Red H Farm is grounded in the agroecological ethics of growing soil, conserving water, fostering
biodiversity, cultivating community and building equity. At Red H Farm we believe that food is
medicine for the body and soul.
We are introducing this new CSA model because the impacts of climate change from
smoke-filled skies to summer heat waves have necessitated a shift in our seasonal work
patterns and the crops we grow. This includes shifting our focus to long season storage crops
for the colder months. The winter CSA runs from November through February and consists of a
once-a-month pickup of a hefty box of storage crops along with an array of fresh produce and
herbs.
You can expect to find onions, garlic, shallots, potatoes and winter squash each month. There
will also be a mix of fresh crops like leeks, celery, greens, beets, cabbages, carrots, radishes,
baby mustards, and lettuce, weather permitting. Sometimes there may be produce from other
farms in our close community. We are spending the summer months growing and drying a
variety of herbs and tea crops, as well as specialty peppers, dry beans, and popcorn. We want
to support you in eating a diversity of foods all winter to keep you healthy and nourished!
Farmers Caiti and Reyna will add you to their email list so you get all the details
Pick up required in Sebastopol
