About us

Hidden Villa is a nonprofit educational organization that uses its organic farm, wilderness, and community to teach and provide opportunities to learn about the environment and social justice. Hidden Villa is an outdoor refuge in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains. Spanning 1,600 acres, Hidden Villa is home to an organic, sustainable farm, gardens, beautiful trails, and animals such as cows, pigs, chickens and goats. We also have several historic buildings on-site, including an 1860s-era barn and blacksmith forge, a hostel that was constructed in 1937 and several buildings that demonstrate environmentally sustainable designs. In 2024, we will celebrate Hidden Villa’s 100-year anniversary.

  • Did you know? Hidden Villa's connection to the farm workers' movement is real and significant. In 1965, founders Frank and Josephine Duveneck opened this land to the National Farm Workers' Movement, providing a space for Dolores Huerta and farm laborers to organize what would become the first strike of California grape pickers. United Farm Workers' (UFW) protests and strikes successfully secured higher wages, better working conditions, and improved benefits for agricultural workers.  #farmworkersday #hiddenvilla #sustainableagriculture

  • On June 13, 2026, Hidden Villa will host Outstanding in the Field — the acclaimed traveling dining experience that has been setting its long table at remarkable landscapes around the world since 1999. For one evening, our 1,600-acre regenerative farm in Los Altos Hills becomes the backdrop for a multi-course feast prepared by Guest Chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel of Camper, with ingredients sourced directly from our CSA and local producers who nourish this community every season. This is what we believe in at Hidden Villa — that when people gather around food grown from healthy land, something shifts. Connections deepen. Stories get told. The distance between a plate and the earth that produced it disappears. Our Host Farmers Jason McKenney and Lanette Anderson will welcome guests with the same spirit that has defined this place for generations: stewardship, honesty, and an abiding love for this land. 📅 June 13, 2026 | 4:00 – 8:45 PM 📍 Hidden Villa, Los Altos Hills, CA 🎟 Tickets: $400 | On sale now at outstandinginthefield.com If you've ever wanted to experience Hidden Villa through a different lens — this is the evening.

Join our farm volunteer program and spend your Wednesday or Saturday mornings (9:30am–12:30pm) learning organic farming alongside our expert farmers. Every session is real, hands-on work that directly feeds our community. And every Wednesday at 12:30pm, we gather for a potluck lunch with the farm team — because good food is better shared.
