Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:

Heading out to the Humboldt County Fair this weekend? You don’t have to wait until noon to begin your fair day! Stop by the Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program (SWAP) Farm in Fortuna this Saturday for free coffee, hayrides and farm tours before heading up the road to Ferndale. 

Coffee at the Farm is an annual event inviting the community to see the sustainable programs underway at the SWAP Farm to rehabilitate low-level offenders and provide food to our incarcerated population within the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. At Saturday’s all-ages event, community members will have the opportunity to meet some of the Correctional Deputies who work on the farm and in the jail, sample produce grown at the farm, see the animals and of course, get free, freshly brewed coffee. 

Coffee at the Farm is taking place this Saturday, August 19, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Office Work Alternative Program Farm, located at 2300 Airport Road in Fortuna. 

Come stop by and say hi on your way to the Humboldt County Fair!
