The Yolo Land Trust has one simple and vital mission: to conserve agricultural land in Yolo County. Since its founding in 1988, YLT has permanently conserved over 13,030 farmland acres on 78 farms with conservation easements, ensuring that agricultural productivity will continue, wildlife habitat will be sustained, open space will be preserved, and our rural quality of life will be safeguarded.
Description
A Day in the Country 2024
Join Yolo Land Trust on Sunday September 8 from 2pm – 5pm for their annual farm-to-fork fundraiser, A Day in the Country, at Bogle Family Vineyards in Clarksburg.
A Day in the Country is a true celebration of Yolo County agriculture. Guests will enjoy delicious tastings from the region’s top chefs featuring fresh, seasonal food grown on Yolo County’s rich farmland. Farms, ranches, vineyards, and breweries from Yolo County join in providing additional tastings and beverages. Plus live music by the Bottom Dwellers!
The Home Ranch at Bogle Family Vineyards will provide a serene setting amongst the vines. “Bogle Family Vineyards is honored to be hosting the 35th annual A Day in the Country,” said Jody Bogle. “It holds a very special place in our heart, as our mother, Patty Bogle, loved volunteering with Yolo Land Trust for so many years. The work of the Yolo Land Trust is critical in conserving what makes Yolo County so special, and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of it!”
In 1989, Yolo Land Trust held the first A Day in the Country, and this year marks 35 years of gathering with YLT supporters. Celebrating the abundance of food that grows year-round on the rich soil of Yolo County is at the heart of why YLT started hosting A Day in the Country. What started as a small gathering with guests bringing their own appetizers has grown into YLT’s signature fundraising event, an annual sell-out event unlike any other.
Proceeds from the event go directly toward YLT’s work of conserving farmland in Yolo County. YLT has partnered with over 60 farmers to protect more than 13,030 acres of farmland. These permanently protected lands will remain farms forever. YLT is committed to protecting soil, water, wildlife, and agriculture by conserving farmland.
