July’s Art & Ag Project visit is to Martinez Orchards just outside of Winters, CA. Farmer Dan Martinez has invited us out to his to his property where he grows Organic Walnuts, Prunes and Petite Sirah grapes.
In October of 2014, Yolo Land Trust partnered with Dan to place a conservation easement on his farmland. It is Conservation Easement #60 for the land trust (out of 78 total farms conserved).
The property bursts with creative opportunities including slough access, rolling hills with 360 degrees of views, and you can see the Coble's historic homestead farmhouse from the 1920’s. |
