ANANDA VALLEY FARM

PALO ALTO, California, 94306-1540 United States

Mission Statement

We continuously strive to improve our soil; growing a wide selection of crops, to create a diverse plant community, and utilizing compost and manure from our animals as a natural fertilizer. Our animals enjoy the best possible welfare. We ensure access to lots of space, both inside and outside, which helps them express natural behaviors, and live happy and contented lives. We are devoted to creating a haven of peace and harmony in nature that can serve the greater community and anyone who is drawn to receive from it.

About This Cause

Ananda Valley Farm is nestled amongst hills and canyons on 67 acres of rich farmland in Half Moon Bay, and two miles from the beach. This land has been lovingly farmed for more than 100 years with water available year-round from a mountain-top spring that Native Americans have long considered sacred. We practice the Yoga & Meditation teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda as taught by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. Ananda Valley Farm provides a beautiful setting to bring the high ideals of simple-living and high-thinking into practice by daily meditation and joyful, selfless service. Our managers and many of our volunteers are long-time meditators. There is a special joy in farming consciously, and the plants respond to the kindness and sensitivity of the farmers who work with them. Our farming practices revolve around learning how to work with Nature in expansive and harmonious ways.
