Garden Goddess Farm is located in the Sierra Foothills on acres of organic edible gardens, manzanita, pines and oaks. The gardens and land help to support guests to unplug from business, bond with nature, explore homesteading practices, herbs and get inspired to learn how to grow your own food! (We can host up toguests for reunions, anniversaries, birthdays and special celebrations. Message us to inquire! 100% of proceeds go to our youth program run by Honey Bee Foundation) Individuals, Couples and 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 and Grass Valley. You do drive through a residential neighborhood to get to this unique location that has views of the forest, valley and Sierras. We are 60-90 minutesfrom Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake, Truckee and ski resorts. We have an on-site Personal Chef that is available to create Farm-Fresh Gourmet Meals, Culinary Homesteading Classes, Private Garden and Foraging Tours. We love celebrations and many guests come here to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, personal retreats and special occasions. Most guests opt in for farm-fresh meal samplers, but feel free to bring your own camp stove, ice chest and food to cook. Privacy and what to expect: Property is usually very quite and 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 between Auburn and Grass Valley). We ask that everyone uses soft voices since we are in a canyon and sound travels to a few neighboring houses. There are 5 Hipcamp sites on property, so we could have up to 20 guests in a weekend. There is a main farmhouse where the manager and culinary students reside. Chef Susan mentors teens at the local highschools and homeschools and loves to share her knowledge about the land. There is a Culinary Classroom, Upper Deck and Gardens to enjoy. If you have teenagers, they love it here! 1/2 Basketball court, cooking and foraging classes. Accommodations 1. The Enchanted Meadow Love Shack (sleeps 3) (190 square feet) 1 King Bed and 1 twin. It's about 200 feet from main farm house and traditional bathroom. The path to and from this unit is steep and a dirt path with many stairs. If you have a 4 wheel drive you can drive right up to the unit. Bring your own sleeping bag or sleeping gear. 2. The Love Shack Tree House and Tent site (sleeps 2) 1 queen bed and balcony that overlooks garden. There is a tree growing inside this unit. There are table and chairs so you can cook on the balcony or the bbq area about 30 feet from unit. So cool! Bathroom and cool shower are 50 feet down a dirt path. Additionally, there is an area to pitch a tent. For example if a family of 4 wanted to split up and 2 in treehouse, 2 in the tent area. There is an additional $18 per guest if you want to use the campsite in addition. Please bring your own sleeping bag or sleeping gear. 3. The Sunrise Suite (sleeps 2) 1 loft twin bed (must climb a ladder ) and 1 couch futon. There an area in front of the unit for 2 people to eat and sit. Common bathroom and shower are 20 feet away. 4. Enchanted Meadow with 3 Serenity Tent sites (max capacity 6) This beautiful spot is great for groups, couples and families. To access this serene, private, nature-rich area, be prepared to walk down a steep path. It only takes 5 minutes to walk down which is the easier part. Walking back up the trail you may feel winded since we are at 2,250 elevation. Best to pack a backpack with your gear if you don't want to make too many trips back and forth to your car unless it's part of your workout :) . There is an activity Teepee / Tipi and we encourage you to participate in the writing, arts and crafts projects! We have wildlife and bears may visit if you have accessible food. So bear-proof your food if at campsite or best to leave in car or farmhouse kitchen. When available, farm-fresh meals can be ordered and delivered to campsites. Otherwise you can prepare cooked meals up near main farmhouse. Other guests may be passing through on the nature trail during your stay but you have the ability to reserve the area as "Private" so no other guests will be visiting. $150/night for the 3 sites or $200/night to block off the entire meadow area for privacy. 5. The Big Deck Experience! (sleeps 2-4 adults. No children due to the height of deck and hot/cold tub) Enjoy breathtaking views of the Sierras, valley and forest from the balcony. Couch turns into a comfortable bed for 2. For additional adults, you need to bring sleeping pads for on the deck. Enjoy meals at 1 or both of the large dining tables. Play the gong and do some sound healing! This space is part of the main farmhouse (owner's residence) and has a beautiful 75 x 15 foot redwood deck with views of the Sierras. This area can be blocked off for privacy from 7pm-10am. At 10 some other guests may come to the area for brunch. Manager and 2 other guests live in the main farmhouse, so this area is considered "semi-private" Other guests may access deck during the day (this is negotiable depending on situation) $ 225/night includes up to 4 adults and 1 Farm-fresh Happy Hour. Sample appetizers and beverages from the farm! Upper Deck/Balcony: If not reserved for a private party, you may enjoy the gongs, meals and play a game in the shaded sitting areas. There are 2 large tables for dining and a couch that seats 8 for relaxing. When not raining we have a rug out for yoga. Deck overlooks the organic demonstration gardens and fruit orchard. If available, you can book an educational or foraging tour with one of the farm volunteers. Fresh chicken eggs are usually available for purchase. Garden Goddess Farm is a great place for kids and adults to learn about nature, cooking, culinary arts, foraging, growing your own food, medicinal / culinary herbs and sustainable living. Manager, Chef Susan-Executive Director of the Honey Bee Foundation, is usually on-site is available to prepare meals.

Peaceful Tiny Beautiful Barn
Cozy Sunrise Suite on Homestead
Chef Susan was very kind. We felt really bad for arriving late on our check in day, but with communication it worked out fine. The tiny barn is perfect for a solo spot or a couple of friends. The futon and mattress are each twin sized. My partner and I were visiting their ill grandmother in Grass Valley. So the location was perfect. Chef Susan offered us flowers and herbs from the garden. That was super generous. We were also able to buy fresh eggs from the hens on the farm. Really beautiful and quiet grounds. I wish we could have stayed to learn about homesteading. We enjoyed our brief stay.

This rustic cabin has a touch of magic, nestled among trees and overlooking an abundant garden. Susan has created a welcoming sanctuary with the perfect blend of quiet and community. The space was simple, warm, and inviting— with a large and comfortable bed.

The green goddess farm was very lovely and filled with positive energy. A friend and I went for a mini getaway weekend from the city and it was a great time! The love shack was comfortable with a great view of the mountains and night sky. It was so close to beautiful scenery as well. Susan was a great host. I would love to go back again :)

We had a great time staying in The Love Shack at Garden Goddess Farm! Incredible views, comfortable bed, and easy access to the nearby restroom. Susan was out of town and very communicative with us leading up to our stay. We’d like to give a special shoutout to Johnathan who hosted in her absence. He took great care of us and we enjoyed a fantastic meal that he prepared (he’s incredible with herbs!) We hope to come back in the summer to experience all the gardens and plants growing on the property!

The Love Shack Treehouse
Garden Goddess Farm was the perfect place to end my week traveling around National Parks. Susan was a friendly host. She was very responsive from the moment I booked the place. The love shack treehouse was very private, clean and the view from it was just perfect. Also, Chef’s Susan food was unbelievable good. :)

The Love Shack Treehouse
We had an amazing experience. I would recommend coming when the weather is nice to really appreciate the scenery but it was still a great cozy hideaway during the rainy weather. Susan prepared us an amazing meal that I would say without hesitation was the best meal we’ve ever had and she accommodated our dietary restrictions without compromising the quality at all. We will definitely consider staying here again in the future.

Stay with Breathtaking Views
The Love Shack Treehouse
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Susan’s place. The photos don’t fully capture the beauty of the location, with its stunning views and lush, green surroundings. The bed was comfortable, and the space was clean, with easy access to the restroom. A special shout-out to Susan for being an incredible chef—she prepared a delicious, fresh, and warm meal for me upon arrival. I highly recommend staying here and definitely suggest trying Susan’s cooking. I would definitely come back to stay again in Spring for the blossom.

Beautiful, delicious, peaceful
The Love Shack Treehouse
Chef Susan was a fantastic host—welcoming, responsive, accommodating, warm, and an incredible chef too. We loved our night on her little farm and the stunning sunset and sunrise views from the window. The brunch she provided was absolutely delicious—complete with farm fresh veggies and homemade bread—and I wouldn't hesitate to come back for seconds. We also loved watching the chickens run around the yard. Thank you so much!

Chef Susan has a peaceful, nature-filled space to enjoy in tent or cabin. Her hospitality was wonderful, and we really recommend asking for her to prepare a meal--delicious!

Chef Susan is the kindest and most generous host I have had of all the places I have stayed at. She is also an incredibly talented chef. All her meals are amazing! The love shack is so, so cute with a live branch of an oak in it. The view from the balcony is amazing! No light pollution so you can see the stars at night. Thank you, Susan, for sharing your place with me and my boy Meiji!

I highly recommend the Garden Goddess Farm. Chef Susan was incredibly hospitable and accommodating. We arrived late at night, and she prepared one of the most delicious dinners I have ever had, made entirely from scratch using produce from her own garden. You could truly taste the love and dedication in every bite. As someone from San Francisco and an avid backpacker, the tent site provided the perfect balance of a camping experience with just the right touch of glamping comforts, only a short, scenic stroll up a hill and out of sight. I cannot say enough good things about Susan. She is a truly remarkable person—an absolutely lovely, powerful, and beautiful woman. I’m looking forward to visiting again and experiencing the 5 course meal!

Great communication to ensure there would be someone to show us the facilities for a late check-in. Susan was very thoughtful to provide us a welcome tray with homemade cookies, hibiscus tea, oranges, and a bottle of chilled rose. Weather was lovely and sunrise/sunset views from the property were beautiful. You can see endless stars through the window!

Great Location!
Cozy Sunrise Suite on Homestead
It was a cozy room that did just the trick for me and my dog. Susan was accommodating and was able to give me another battery when my first one died on me. Great location and would definitely stay again

Enchanted Meadow Campsite
We booked enchanted meadow/teepi, but Susan called and told us that the tepi isn’t suitable to sleep in and we have to bring our own tent. She offered the cabins that were available, so we stayed in the love shack/tree house with our toddler. We loved our stay. Susan is great. We signed up for the dinner to receive upon arrival, which was excellent. There is a bathroom and a kitchen attached to the house that guests can use. The enchanted meadow/tipi is tent site that is quite far downhill from those amenities. The love shack and sunrise suite are closest to the main house. The love shack/treehouse overlooks the garden, chicken coop, and a hill so we got to wake up each morning to the sound of chickens and a great sunrise peaking through the trees. Each of the cabins have coloring tools, which was helpful for us as it was something to keep our toddler busy when we weren’t walking him down to meet the chickens, hiking down to the tipi or exploring the grounds. Overall, it was a great stay.

I wanted to surprise my partner to a nice place with a great experience for our 9 year anniversary and chose to spend it in the Love Shack Treehouse with the Susan and the Garden Goddess Farm and we were no disappointed. The cabin and its view were a breath of fresh air, the place was clean and the hospitality was the highlight of our stay. The food and juices were phenomenal and would recommend anything to everyone that Susan prepares, it was magic. Thanks the our hostess Susan for such a great time and for making our anniversary memorable.

So I would totally recommend this place. Susan was super nice and her staff totally met our needs. Me and my family came in on a heat wave. We had rented the teepee but because of the heat they said it would be better to stay in the cabin. Which I totally agreed and it was perfect and on top that they offered to bring us a fan. This is a place that’s puts your needs above the money. Thanks again for a wonderful stay Susan and showing my kids the wonderful things plants can do.

We loved our stay at Chef Susan's farm. We choose the teepee for our stay and it went beyond our expectations. We enjoyed our chat with chef Susan. Raphael and his girlfriend were very helpful. We will go back and we highly recommend for others to enjoy.

Susan was a great host from the first minute my daughter and I got to the property - we felt genuinely welcomed. The cabin was rustic but very cozy. In our time there we felt far away from the city, even while I relied on wifi to perform remote work for some of the time there.

The cabin was cute and Susan was very friendly and welcoming. We didn’t spend that much time on the property since we were visiting friends but there’s a beautiful deck where I could totally could see myself spending an afternoon relaxing.

Cozy Sunrise Suite on Homestead
We really enjoyed the scenic, peaceful, and thoughtful environment camping here! Our host Susan, and everyone involved—were very considerate and friendly—the whole property felt inviting. She made sure we had everything we needed, and even provided some extra things for us that really helped. We stayed in the Sunrise Suite and it was perfect for us—cozy, pretty, and fun! The bathroom, located in a close-by building, was kept super clean. The kitchen was large and accommodating with cooking appliances, sink, fridge, etc. There was lots of space to enjoy the view, pause in nature, and learn about things that grow there. Location felt private and quiet, even staying in a central location and with other campers on the property. We wish we could have stayed longer to hang out and also explore the gardens more. Would definitely recommend it, and stay again one day. It’s a gem. PS: don’t miss the view from the top balcony!

Susan was very sweet and the view from the top deck is gorgeous! Our Sunrise Suite didn’t have any power but she provided us with a generator (I’d still suggest to bring your own). The communal kitchen is useful but have to bring all of your own condiments and food. Shower doesn’t have hot water and be sure to provide your own sheets and towels.
