Garden Goddess Farm is located in the Sierra Foothills on 6+ acres of organic edible gardens, manzanita, pines & oaks. The gardens and land help to support guests to unplug from business, bond with nature & learn how to grow their own food! Lots of wild medicinal & culinary herbs to discover. Individuals, Couples & Families love the farm because of the quiet surroundings, great food and opportunity to learn about sustainable living. Farm is conveniently located 20 minutes from Auburn, Nevada City & Grass Valley. 60-90 Minutes from Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake, Truckee & ski resorts. We have an on-site Personal Chef that is available to create Farm-Fresh Gourmet Meals, Culinary & Homesteading Classes, Private Garden & Foraging Tours. Celebrate a Special Occasion & try one of our Make & Take Classes, Mead Tasting or Romance Packages! Most guests opt in for farm-fresh meal packages, but feel free to bring your own camp stove & food to cook in the bbq area. Privacy & what to expect: Property is usually very quite & overlooks hundreds of acres of forest looking toward the Snow-capped Sierras in the Winter and Spring. We are located in a neighborhood (Alta Sierra- in between Auburn & Grass Valley). We ask that everyone uses soft voices since we are in a canyon and sound travels to a few houses that are our neighbors. There are 3 Hipcamp sites on property, so we could have up to 6 guests in a weekend. The main farmhouse is 4500 square feet and hosts 2-4 Culinary Students or Professionals that may be on site. There is a Culinary Classroom, Upper and Lower Deck & Gardens to enjoy. If you have teenagers, they love it here! 1/2 Basketball court, cooking & foraging classes. This Cozy Love Shack sleeps 2-4 adults/kids. (190 square feet) 1 King Bed with Floor Futon & single bed. It's about 200 feet from main farm house. The unit has basic electricity, a solar light & mini frig. Sun warmed (luke-Warm) camping shower available. Approx 190 square feet. Toilet is a composting bucket with wood chips. The main farmhouse (owner's residence) has a beautiful 75 x 15 foot redwood deck with views of the Sierras & Foothills. Enjoy a Happy Hour, Gourmet Farm-fresh meal, picnic or play a game in the shaded couch area. There are 2 large tables for dining & couches for relaxing. We have organic demonstration gardens & orchard that you can stroll or you can book an educational tour & tasting for a more in depth understanding of the culinary & medicinal plants. Fresh chicken & duck eggs are usually available. Great place for kids & adults to learn about organic gardening & sustainable living. Nearby Attractions to research: Historic Grass Valley, Nevada City and Auburn (Lots of Wine-tasting & Local Wineries). The Beautiful South Yuba River or Bear River is a must-experience (25 min drive), Scott's Flat Lake & Lakes off of Hwy 20 (30-60 minutes), Trails for Mountain Biking & Hiking, Lake Tahoe, Truckee and Donner Lake (1 hour 15 min drive). Empire Mine. Pet Policy: - If you'd like to bring along your pet, we are happy to accommodate. Please add on the "pets" extra when you are completing your booking. This covers our pet cleaning fee.

Cozy Sunrise Suite on Homestead
Serene views and nature liveliness
Susan generously offered me to stay in the treehouse and I couldn't have felt more comfortable, connected, and inspired. The deck provided a lovely space to watch the rising sun, continue my yoga practice, and watch the liveness of her little farm/garden. It is an embracing and uplifting space to stay in! A short drive to Nevada City + Grass Valley.

Fun little hidden gem 🌿🌵✨️
Absolutely loved our stay here and meeting Chef Susan. We signed up for one of her classes, got a tour of the farm and learned so much. This little hidden gem is so relaxing and we can't wait to go back! We were upgraded to the tree house and it was so fun. The views were incredible.

Nice get away from city life, sleeping on the deck under the stars and moon. Great place to learn about growing your own food and wildcrafting. Susan is a friendly host and we felt very welcome 😊

The Love Shack Treehouse
We loved our stay in Susan’s treehouse. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed relaxing mornings sipping coffee on the porch. Susan was an incredible host and gave us a tour of the organic farm on the property. The kitchen was clean and functional. I would definitely recommend splurging for the hot tub and farm grown brunch. Susan crafted a delicious brunch on the back porch for us with fresh foods, many of which from her garden. We would also recommend checking out the Lucchesi vineyards about 15 minutes away. They have a serene vineyard on the hillside that overlooks the Sierras.
