(sanramon.ca.gov 1) (sanramon.ca.gov 2) City listings say visitors can watch sheep shearing, sheep dog demonstrations, and browse a tractor museum, with music, food, crafts, and exhibitors also scheduled. The city’s events page separately lists Sheep Shearing Day for April 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (sanramon.ca.gov 1) (sanramon.ca.gov 2) Forest Home Farms is the city’s historic park focused on the agricultural history of the San Ramon Valley. The city says the site preserves and interprets that history through exhibits, tours, and public programs. (sanramon.ca.gov) (sanramon.ca.gov) The property spans 16 acres and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, according to the city’s tour information. City materials say tours there can include the meat locker, tractor museum, and a restored 1850s barn. (sanramon.ca.gov) Forest Home Farms exists as a public historic site because former owner Ruth Boone donated the land to San Ramon rather than sell it for subdivision, according to the city’s farm history page. The city describes that gift as unusual given rising land values and development pressure in Contra Costa County. (sanramon.ca.gov) The city’s current notices point residents to its online listing for details and updates, a sign that timing or programming can change before Saturday. For now, the public schedule shows one day of sheep shearing at the old Boone ranch, where San Ramon now stages its farm-history events. (sanramon.ca.gov) (sanramon.ca.gov)
