BECOME A SPONSOR OF THE SLO COUNTY FARM TRAIL

We invite you to become a Friend of the Trail Sponsor

OUR GOAL is to bring together local farms and producers as a collaborative network of collective marketing efforts introducing visitors and local consumers to the growers and makers to the SLO County Farm Trail via our printed and on-line farm trail map, our annual Open Farm Days Weekend, and the farm tours and workshops held at each farm.

A FRIEND OF THE TRAIL SPONSORSHIP IS SO MUCH MORE THAN AN AD ON THE FARM TRAIL MAP!
Your sponsorship places your name alongside a growing community that draws thousands of locals and visitors each year. From Open Farm Days to farm tours and workshops, you’ll gain visibility among engaged consumers who value authenticity, sustainability, and supporting local businesses—while directly investing in the continued growth and vitality of SLO County agriculture.
