The Holman Farm



My friend Laurie lives on a magic cherry farm on the Mission Peninsula.  I visited her this week and we had a great afternoon - she gave me a tour of their 90 acre centennial farm and grounds.

  1. Tim and Laurie are my amazing aunt and uncle! The orchard is one of my favorite places on earth, and Laurie does a fantastic job with all of her plants. She has the greenest thumb of anyone I know! I look forward to her canned goods all year. I'm glad you got the tour.
