1350 Bennett Valley Road
Santa Rosa, CA 95404 - (Get Directions click here)
- The Sonoma County Fairgrounds is the largest facility in the county of Sonoma and in the city of Santa Rosa, California. Sonoma County is an ideal venue for this event due to its proximity to San Francisco. Another key factor is that Sonoma County is bound on the north by Mendocino County and on the south by Marin County, both of which are GE-free counties. This type of event will be a tremendous platform for creating awareness and education on the issues related to GMO’s.” –Theheirloomexpo.com
