Now, that's a Day in the Country!

Its a feast prepared by the top chefs in Northern California. It's over 20 growers and vineyards sharing Yolo County's bounty. It's a lazy Sunday afternoon under the shade of walnut trees on the Sacramento River. Sumptuous food, wine, music and a kid's corner too.

The Mike Justis Band will be featured at A Day in the Country. The band members are Mike Justis playing rhythm guitar and harmonica, Steven Mclane on acoustic and electric guitars, and Kathy Barwick on acoustic bass and dobro. The trio plays blues, folk, light rock and Americana. Barwick was voted the best female dobro player in Northern California and Justis writes many of the band’s songs. They are delighted to be joined by McIane, an excellent guitar player.

A Day in the Country is all of this.

And more - a Day in the Country is your opportunity to support the work of the Yolo Land Trust. If you love food, you'll love the work of the Yolo Land Trust.

Local land. Local food. Now and forever.
