Workshops


In the summer of 2019, we were thrilled to offer a small series of classes and present the opportunity to engage in a learning environment at the foot of Mount Tamalpais where we have created Black Rock Ranch. After being unable to gather for the last two years, we are delighted to open our doors again.

We’ve worked for the past several years to restore good health to the soil and move in harmony with nature to create a peaceful space that honors our place on the mountain. We continue to move towards this vision with the addition of olive, citrus and fruit trees, medicinal and dye plants, heritage chickens and rare breed sheep. We are pleased to tell you our tiny ranch shop is now open by appointment and hope you may visit soon. There is a variety of offerings including our late November harvest olive oil, blended fennel salt, local yarn, charming knit hats, naturally dyed hand towels and other assorted goods.

A thoughtful and light touch on the land is a guiding tenet as we move further towards regenerative systems and respect for our natural resources. Our values closely align with Fibershed as we work to bring our community here to learn, teach and create awareness about regenerative fiber systems. We are grateful for your support and look forward to sharing space with you on the mountain.
