 Welcome
to the El Dorado County Farm Trails website. El Dorado County
has a long tradition of agriculture dating to the gold rush of
the
1800’s
and today we continue to be proud of our rural atmosphere and
agricultural history. Through a generous grant from the county
Board of Supervisors,
the association was established as a non-profit organization
in 1992 to promote agriculture and agri-tourism in the county.
Today,
we dedicate our efforts toward carrying out our mission and we
continue
to enjoy policy support and periodic financial support from the
Supervisors.
Our members grow a wide variety of fruits,
including cherries, berries, peaches, apples, pears, and oranges
as well as wine grapes, flowers, Christmas trees and other agricultural
products. Our members who operate wineries offer many award winning
wines having flavor characteristics unique to the foothill appellations
of El Dorado and Fair Play.
Whether you are touring our scenic
areas
for a day or a week, please explore our Farm Trails and take
home some of the excellent fruits, vegetables, and other products
available.
The many agricultural attractions and recreational activities available
in our beautiful county also offer something for everyone, especially
families. |

Quick Find - What does the Farmer grow?
(apples, trees, etc.)
Our association has grown to over 100 members in
the “Western slope” of the county operating farms and ranches
and related enterprises. Our Farm Trails route was recently referred
to by UC Davis as being one of “two premier farm trails in the
state”. We certainly agree and wish to welcome you to explore
the many unique and interesting activities and products our members
have to offer.
