Ananda Valley Farm
Half Moon Bay, CA
Nestled within the rolling hills and lush canyons of Half Moon Bay, Ananda Valley Farm thrives on 67 acres of rich farmland – a mere two miles from the beautifully rugged shore of Northern California. This land has been lovingly farmed for more than a hundred years with water available year-round from a mountain-top spring that Native Americans have long considered sacred.

Loving Hands & Hearts
Ananda Valley Farm is a branch of Ananda Sangha community in Palo Alto, CA. At Ananda, we practice the Yoga & Meditation teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda as taught by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda.
Simple Living & High Thinking
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.
Harmony with Nature & Conscious Kindness
There is a special joy in farming consciously. 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
Caring For Our Land
We continuously strive to improve our soil; growing a wide selection of crops, to create a diverse plant community, and utilising compost and manure from our animals as a natural fertiliser.
Respecting the Animals
Our animals enjoy the best possible welfare. We ensure access to lots of space, both inside and outside, which helps them express natural behaviours, and live happy and contented lives.
Supporting Our Communities
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.
