Students observing stocking of Coho salmon in a tributary of the Russian River this week. Preservation of land, streams, and our eco-systems is something that can touch all of us, but is especially meaningful to the students who will become the inheritors of the environment we leave to them.

You never know what you'll find on your listings. This luscious, but not quite ready, fig is on my organic farm listing in Dry Creek Valley. The property has pears, apples, lemons, and a host of other fruits, but I will always check out fig trees before anything else. For my taste buds, there's

This older Sebastopol building has a wonderfully ornate roof with great window detailing and shingles custom fitted to the curves. It's no wonder the owners were eager to save the hundreds and hundreds of hours a previous generation of skilled craftspeople invested in this project. Raising the b

I met some new buyers today in Sonoma Valley. For those who aren't familiar with Sonoma, it's an early center for much of California's modern history. The Bear Flag Rebellion was centered here and many historical buildings remain, mainly clustered around the town's big plaza. The town is flatter
