Every August Ragle Ranch Park in Sebastopol, California provides the beautiful location for an annual celebration of Sonoma County agriculture. The Gravenstein Apple Fair, sponsored by Sonoma County Farm Trails, showcases the best in arts, crafts, food, wines and brews, games, entertainment and farm life activities.

Proceeds from the fair fund the annual Sonoma County Farm Trails Map & Guide and Farm Trails' promotional and educational programs.

Brimming with tradition, this country fair showcases Sebastopol's Gravenstein apple and the experience of an old time country get-together.

At the fair, Sonoma County farmers sell everything from apples and fiber arts to miniature plants and gourmet goodies. Over 125 artisans display the finest quality arts and crafts. A miniature train tours the hillsides while ingenious antique farm equipment fascinates all ages.

Life on the Farm exhibits demonstrate beekeeping, goat milking and blacksmithing along with many friendly barnyard animals.

Contests are part of the old fashioned fun. See if you can be the first to finish an entire apple pie! Or relax and take the family on a leisurely horse drawn wagon ride under the oaks.

Come and sip Sonoma County wines, beers and ales in our wine and beer garden. Listen to the toe-tapping music provided on two stages or learn from one of our guest chefs as they create their delicious specialties.

Visit the Children's Corner, where kids can create an art piece to take home, watch a puppet show or participate in games fun for the whole family.

Join us for a wonderful time at the Gravenstein Apple Fair. We would love to see you, your family and your friends!
