Visits to the farm provide a wide range of opportunities for your group to engage with all that Pie Ranch has to offer from field to kitchen. Explore the program offerings below to find an option that meets your group’s objectives and wishes!

Our redwood classroom is the perfect space to hold your retreat or meeting, paired with a farm-to-table lunch from the fields.
