Launched in 1994, Farm & Tractor Days is growing in popularity with the renewed “Farm to Fork” and “Urban Garden and Chicken” movements. It feeds the public’s desire to learn about our area’s deep agriculture roots. The event is hosted by the Rio Linda/Elverta Historical Society—a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Sacramento County’s rural heritage
