Hidden Villa

Hidden Villa is a nonprofit educational organization that uses its organic farm, wilderness, and community to teach and provide opportunities to learn about the environment and social justice.

Hidden Villa stretches over 1600 acres of open space in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, about 40 miles south of San Francisco. From the time it was acquired by Frank and Josephine Duveneck in 1924, Hidden Villa has been a place for environmental discovery, social awareness, and community involvement.

Hidden Villa’s mission is “To inspire a just and sustainable future through our programs, land and legacy”.

In the tradition of our founders, our core values are sustainability, diversity, excellence, stewardship, and organizational health.
