Storytime and tour at Forest Hill Farm in San Ramon

Historic site hosts a story telling event on Tuesday and tours on Saturday

Give your children a taste of country life this week with a visit to Forest Home Farms in San Ramon. The historic open space, a 16-acre farm donated to the city by the late Ruth Quayle Boone in 1997, is opening its doors to get children excited about farm life and history. Anyone between the ages of three and five is invited to come down for a farm-themed story time on Tuesday, July 22 from 10 to 11 a.m. The Farmer will lead the group with songs, crafts, and stories about a farm and its animals. Refreshments are included.

Come back on Saturday for a tour of the farm—if only for the chance to taste your own handmade orangeade or lemonade or learn how our ancestors made it without a washer and dryer. The program will vary throughout the summer, but it will only cost $3 for adults, while children are free.

The farm is located at 19953 San Ramon Valley Boulevard. Children can register for Story Time with the Farmer online at www.sanramonrecguide.com or by calling 925-973-3200, but they must bring a parent along. The cost is $3 for San Ramon residents and $4 for non-residents. If you have any questions, give the farmers a ring at 925-973-3284.
