Nature, community, and culinary arts converge under one roof. A San Francisco Bay Area chef in Browns Valley wanted a home open to guests – land to grow food and space to share meals around a communal table. Three private guest rooms, one permanent residence, a large communal kitchen, and abundant outdoor space give life to this dream. Situated along a gentle hill abutting a 5-acre pond, visitors can spend their day hiking, walking through the orchards and working gardens, or relaxing by the water. As guests witness the production of their meals – in the gardens and in the kitchen – a deepened relationship to the land and food is formed.
