Volunteer

Join our crew of volunteers to lend a hand when we need it most. This is not a regular newsletter and you will only be notified when we have a project we could use help on. Projects range from assisting with weeding, pruning, harvesting, packaging our products, to more arduous tasks like fence maintenance and earth building projects.

Camping

Situated on a private and peaceful non-profit farm on the Gaviota Coast, our campsites provide a unique camping experience for the whole family. The sites feature uninterrupted views of the coast, native chaparral hiking trails, and access to a farm tour (suggested donation of $25/person). Our farm raises animals such as cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, and more. We invite you to visit with the animals, hike our trails, and enjoy the natural beauty of our incredible land. Sites are primitive camping on gravel pads along our hiking trails. Approximately a five minute hike from parking. Water and composting toilets are provided.
