Thirty-five years.

We keep saying that number and it keeps stopping us in our tracks.

Thirty-five years ago, a group of female flower farmers had a wild idea: throw a harvest party on a real working farm in the Capay Valley, showcase their love for dried flowers, educate attendees about how food is grown, share a farm to table meal and dance the night away.

We've watched kids grow up at this festival. We've watched those kids bring their own kids. We've seen farmers who were just starting out become the elders who teach the next generation. We've watched friendships form in a square dance line that are still going strong decades later.

That's the thing about Hoes Down. It doesn't just welcome you. It roots you to a place.

This year, we celebrate 35 years of digging deep — into the soil, into community, into the question of what it really means to know where your food comes from and who grows it.

This summer, we're going back to the beginning — digging through 35 years of old photos, stories and memories — to celebrate what the festival has meant to so many people. Stay tuned for the best of the archive.

But first: who are you bringing this year?
👇 Tag them below. Old friend, new friend, your kid, your parent, someone who's never been — whoever belongs in that field with you on October 3. 🌾
