Get ready to celebrate the return of the California Nut Festival, an agriculture-focused culinary event not to be missed. Guests will spend the day sampling and savoring nut-inspired dishes by local restaurants, caterers and chefs and sipping local wine, beers, coffees and juices, while listening to local musicians on two stages and enjoying art and special activities. Event attendees will enjoy strolling through the historic Patrick Ranch Museum grounds, chatting with local farmers, shopping for local products, and learning about the equipment farmers use in nut farming and the important role agriculture plays in the North State. Everyone is also encouraged to tour the Glenwood Farmhouse and walk through the Master Gardener Demonstration Gardens to salute our local agriculture, history and the food we are proud to harvest.

Proceeds from the festival are used for the development of the Patrick Ranch Museum to preserve and interpret the agricultural history of the Sacramento Valley. The mission of the California Nut Festival is to connect consumers and farmers, cultivate and understanding of our nut production and how California nuts fit into a healthy lifestyle.

Art Show

Agriculture & Artistry A Shopper's Delight
While the California Nut Festival is committed to connecting the community with farmers, growers and producers in the North Valley, it is also a driving force in making a connection between agriculture and the fine arts of our community. As event attendees are enjoying the wonderful variety of foods and beverages on the historic and beautifully manicured grounds of Patrick Ranch, they are also encouraged to plan time to visit the Artisan Faire where local artists and artisans will be displaying and selling their works. Included this year is a wide variety of artistry such as paintings, jewelry, handcrafted wood, ceramics, stained glass and mosaic art. New this year, all event ticket holders will be given a raffle ticket to bring to the Art Barn where they will have a chance to win art donated by participating artists.
