Hidden Springs Family Ranch

04/18/2026

We hope you'll join us for our Hidden Springs Family Ranch Field Day and Barn Dance. Choose from a variety of activities throughout the day, culminating in our 2nd annual barn dance and community potluck dinner!

We're throwing open the gates and welcoming the community to Hidden Springs Family Ranch for a field day, barn dance, and community potluck. Come walk the land, meet our animals, share a meal, and spend a beautiful spring day together on 232 acres of working farm nestled in the hills of Butte County.

PLUS>>Two big announcements — and you're invited to be part of both.

Hidden Springs Protein & Produce CSA This summer we're launching a weekly CSA from the ranch — pasture-raised chicken, eggs, and pork; seasonal vegetables; fresh fruit; and a recipe card. Delivered weekly to a Chico drop site or farm pickup. Limited to 20 boxes. Field Day is your first chance to sign up!

FarmTeach Regenerative Farm Fellowship We're offering a paid Regenerative Farm Fellowship for Butte County high school students. Fellows pair hands-on farm work with academic curriculum — and in learning to restore the land, discover they are restoring themselves. Field Day is a chance to learn more and spread the word!

Spent a beautiful day at the farm with the staff of Chat - Chico Housing Action Team. This group does such important work in the community—what a gift to be able to give them a change of scenery and space to reflect on how their work is making a difference.

If your organization is in need of retreat space and experienced workshop facilitation, we’re here to help with both! Reach out to Kara about workshops, consulting and coaching options for your team.

I’m excited to share some wonderful news: Hidden Springs Family Ranch is expanding, and we are opening several new positions to support our growing regenerative farm and educational initiative, FarmTeach.

As we deepen our commitment to cultivating healthy soil, nourishing our community, and creating meaningful hands-on learning opportunities for young people, we’re looking for individuals who feel called to this work. Would you be willing to pass along our job announcements to anyone in your network who might be a good fit?

We had such a great time hosting Marlo Knox's class from Sherwood Montessori School last Friday! A special thanks to Charlie Giannini who took the students on a guided observation walk to identify birds native to Hidden Springs. He also led the students in a drawing lesson on the common woodpecker.
