Chileno Valley Ranch

Our Chileno Valley Ranch is located in the beautiful rolling hills of Coastal Marin, nestled in a picturesque valley near Petaluma. Here, we are dedicated to raising grass-fed beef and providing a rich, natural setting for activities such as U-pick apple picking in the fall. We strive to maintain the traditions of sustainable agriculture, open spaces, and healthy food production while inviting the public to participate in our various events and offerings.

We believe in fostering compassionate animal care, enhancing wildlife habitats, and cultivating local relationships between those who produce and those who consume locally grown food. Our ranch provides a quaint setting for rustic farm weddings and a place where visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty of Marin County. Our efforts aim to support and celebrate rural living as we embark on our 17th year.

Among the attractions at our ranch are our orchard tours and apple picking sessions, where visitors are welcomed to reserve a spot to gather the freshest apples for their families. Additionally, our grass-fed beef and lamb are available for purchase, offering a taste of our top-quality, locally sourced produce.

We also appreciate the voluntary support from individuals who wish to contribute their time to enhance the experience on our farm and help with events such as our U-pick apple gatherings. The volunteers play an essential role in the functioning and success of our farm activities.

Finally, we organize volunteer programs and educational initiatives such as the Chileno Valley Newt Brigade, emphasizing the importance of maintaining clean creeks and local biodiversity. These efforts unite our community with a shared dedication to responsible ecological stewardship.
