La Casita

by | Jun 5, 2024 | Places to Visit | 1 comment

Located in southern Sonoma County’s wine country, La Casita at Silver Penny Farm is home to lush fields where sheep graze, honey bees buzz and life is slow. La Casita is a private wing of an elegant farmhouse built in 1898 and is an ideal home base for 1-2 people. Silver Penny Farm is owned by local leaders in the organic dairy/artisan cheesemaking community, so there is always some excellent cheese and organic milk for our guests – along with a bottle of wine from our Petaluma Gap Appellation.

Guest access

You’ll have access to the surrounding gardens as well as the 17.5 acres of farmland. You’ll share Silver Penny with the permanent residents who are local makers, ecologists and food industry workers. While exploring please stay within the property line fences and be mindful of the private residences.
Silver Penny Farm has been in continuous agricultural production since the early 1900’s and is currently leased to a neighboring sheep rancher as part of his rotational grazing practice. The meat is available through Stemple Creek Ranch. Honey bees also reside on the farm, managed by Sola Bee, and are integral to pollinating fruit orchards in the spring.
