Spend a beautiful spring day with Jay & Terri Thesken and Judy & Dave Bush at the Sacramento River Bend Recreation Area near Red Bluff. We’ll start with a leisurely wildflower walk at Perry Riffle, led by Jay & Terri, about 1.5 miles and an hour and a half of fresh air, flowers, and scenic views. Afterward, we’ll head to Bass Pond at the southern end of the park for a delicious gourmet picnic lunch prepared by Judy & Dave Bush. Early April is the perfect time to see the terraces of the Sacramento River come alive with colorful wildflowers - an experience you won’t want to miss!

Lunch and beverages will be provided.

Step into spring on a working sheep ranch for a day filled with fresh air, new growth, and hands-on discovery.

See firsthand how fluffy winter fleeces are transformed into beautiful, usable fiber. Follow the wool’s educational journey through what happens during sheering, spinning the precious wool, and the many uses that come from it! Roll up your sleeves at try-it-yourself stations to explore these traditional crafts yourself.

You’ll also get the chance to enjoy the fresh spring air and take a guided nature walk that will wind through the property and highlight native plants as they emerge, bloom, and support the surrounding ecosystem. With lambs in the pasture, wildflowers in the fields, and creativity in the air, this springtime farm experience offers a rare opportunity to connect with nature, agriculture, and creativity.
