Contra Costa County Farm Bureau's Ag Industry Tour is a one-day excursion into the Brentwood, Knightsen, and Oakley area, and is a chance for teachers to learn about our local agriculture first hand.

Our tour begins at the Antioch Fair Grounds, where tour guide Paul Lamborn, guides everyone through the Mangini Agriculture Museum. Once we are loaded on the bus, we spend the day touring the different packing sheds that are busy packing the many crops harvested during the fall months. These include: Continete Walnut Packing, Nunn Apple Packing, Emerson Dairy, Dwelly Farms, Tennant's Walnut Harvesting, and Blumen Pistachio Farm.

This tour is an excellent opportunity for teachers to see farming operations up close, as well as giving Farm Bureau a chance to expose more teachers to our Ag in the Classroom Program.
