ARTISTS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS…Join us this Sunday morning (7/20 at 8:30am) at Rancho Torales Olive and Lavender Farm in Richards Ranch for our last pre-festival event.

Farmers Joy and Sandy Severin invite Plein Air artists and photographers to enjoy the morning light at their exquisite farm.  If you’d like to be a part of this group, please contact us at info@farmart.org to reserve a space. There is no charge to attend.  Just plan to bring all of your equipment, sun protection and a snack or lunch.  Joy will have beverages on hand.

On that same day, Farms of Tuolumne County will be hosting a Farm Tour Day with Rancho Torales as a “Diamond in the Farm Tour Crown.”  Tickets to attend the Farm Tour are $10, a fund raiser for Farms of Tuolumne County.  BUT the art and photo portion is free with a reservation.  And you can check out Joy’s art studio.

Plus, all art and photo participants will receive a coupon to enter one piece of art in the Foothill Farmlands ARTS Festival’s art exhibit.  Entry forms should be posted at the website ANY DAY NOW.

AND, here goes a big shout-out to The Severins for the new award they received for the delicious olive oil!  Yeah!  A bronze award in an international competition–how’s that for a Tuolumne County Farm Product?  Plus, I hope all you locals had a chance to read the wonderful newspaper article in Tuesday’s Union Democrat’s “Food and Flavor” section.  Great pictures of our friends and their product.

I’ve got to learn how to post pictures here so I can show you some of the gorgeous places!

Well, the sun is up now….I’d better go see if the gophers got my heirloom tomatoes.
