A 2-day Adventure for 4 at the Bowles Family Farm

LIVE ITEM open for bidding Feb 16 10am to 6pm. FINAL BIDDING during live CARNIVALE, February 16.

An adventure awaits! Your party of 4 will experience 2 days and 2 nights
on the Bowles family farm. Situated in the heart of San Joaquin Valley, near Los Banos, the Bowles family has owned and operated the farm for 150 years.

Your action- packed working farm "field-trip" includes:

• Learning how farmers use organic and conventional methods to produce herbs, melons, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, cotton, nuts, native plants, and more
• Observing the world's most advanced agricultural equipment and technology, learning more about how water is used to feed us and how wildlife and agriculture can coexist.
• Meeting the men and women who have been called to the hard ministry of feeding and clothing immense numbers of people they will never meet.
• Birdwatchers, bring your binoculars! Observe thousands of species of birds in their natural habitat as the farm is directly adjacent to the largest freshwater wetland in California.

After a busy day on the farm, loafing around is encouraged. The Bowles family's hospitality offers your group:

• Private 3 bedroom guesthouse accommodations
• Swimming in the Olympic sized pool. Bring your trunks!
• Delicious farm-to-table meals

Finally, your hosts will be sure you are loaded up with plenty of produce when you depart for home.
