rural community of the Central Valley about one 
and a half hours from San Jose.

has comfortable cabins and most areas of the farm 
are easily accessible from the main house and 
dining "rancho".  Accommodations for 15 nights, 
three meals, (from the farm) per day, and laundry 
service are included in the course cost.
