El Rancho is a 17 acre farm where we provide opportunities of participating in responsible environmental leadership, growing organic food, & fostering a sense of community, while working together & enjoying nature. We grow abundant healthy, organic fresh produce to supply Mar de Jade Retreat Center and all community educational projects.

Some of the products: Mango, papaya, pineapple, cucumber, banana, jamaica, tamarind, passion fruit, carrots, citrus fruits, lettuce, arugula, kale, herbs, corn, beans, peanuts, eggs…

Our Mission is two-fold:

1. To provide an experience that educates our local farming community, which is dependent on mono-culture crops, pesticides and chemical fertilizers, on how to return to self- sufficiency and abundance by cultivating a wide diversity of nourishing foods with non toxic farming methods.

2. To create employment and skill training for struggling women through an environmentally and economically sustainable process: transforming our locally grown food into market-ready products such as marmalade, peanut butter, dehydrated goods and in the future beauty products.
