Rough and Ready, CA

This is a video clip of a very strange site when you drive through the historic gold mining town of Rough and Ready.  You might be think you were in some sort of parallel universe where everything was reduced 25% in size.

I was totally perplexed when  I first saw these buildings - which were many of the typical buildings from the Wild West.

So I took this video to show everyone what they are missing.

Come to the little gold mining town of Rough and Ready in Nevada County in Northern California, and you'll see what I mean.

Hi Folks,

I am a proud member of the California Native Grasslands Association (CNGA) and they just announced the date for their very popular field day held at Hedgerow Farms located in Winters, CA.

This is the class & workshop that I hear many people wish was available to really learn about native grasses and how they can be utilized around their properties and homesteads. They cover everything from grass and common grassland weed ID to propagation and ideal conditions for the various grasses to thrive. They will also cover wildlife corridor creation and the use of wildflowers and native grasses together to increase native insect pollinators and encourage their calling your home their home too.

Here is all the details you will need to reserve your spot for this excellent day in the field!
