Legal battles over elk stress dairy farmers
In the 1960s, dairy farmers along the Marin County coast agreed to sell their ranches to the federal government to facilitate creation of the 71,000-acre Point Reyes National Seashore in 1972. That sales accord created a partnership enabling 27 working ranches to continue operating—scattered between public beaches, hiking trails, campgrounds and, later, a reserve for native tule elk. But now Tim Kehoe and other Point Reyes dairy farmers say they fear they could be forced to shutter.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Holloway’s Christmas Tree Farm in Nipomo. Each year since its opening in 1962, the San Luis Obispo County tourist destination hosts thousands of visitors who come to the farm to sip hot chocolate, drive pedal cars, pet farm animals and search for the perfect Christmas tree.

Try duck for dinner
When Jackson Family Wines chef Justin Wangler prepares meals or food-and-wine pairings at company wineries, he often serves duck—and enjoys witnessing the guests’ reactions. “They’re always amazed by the flavor,” he says. “A lot of people think they don’t like duck because they’ve only tasted the wild ones that are gamey and tough. But when you have farm-raised duck, it’s just so much milder in flavor and much more tender. It’s a wonderful, meaty flavor.”
