We are here in Gilroy Ca, on a rural 2 acres just outside of town, further up our road is Coyote Lake to go boating and fishing and Harvey Bear park to go hiking and horse riding. Santa Cruz is a 45 min drive West over hwy 152 and San Jose is 30 min North on 101 and keep going a bit more and you will be in San Francisco. Here at home we raise several different kinds of lives stock. Goats for meat and milk, Sheep for meat and wool and eventually milk, Pigs for meat, Rabbits for meat and hide, Chickens, Ducks and Quail for meat and eggs. We have a garden and small orchard with nearly a dozen fruit trees of different kinds : loquat, a few apples, plums, apricot, peach, fig, persimmons and my favorite the pomegranate! We process everything ourselves using ancestral techniques and love to share and learn with others. Id say the main draw back here is the traffic noise but beyond that, We are quite lucky to have very a green and Id say an oasis of a property, with multiple large palms trees surrounding the pool area and a large weeping willow tree in the main yard/sheep pasture. At the NE corner of the property is a very large oak tree, it is majestic and with the tipi door open to the East the big oak is the first thing you'll see every morning besides the suns rays! The entire Northern property line is rowed with 60ft tall redwood trees and there are a smattering of citrus trees around to boot! The freezer is stocked with in house meat, the BBQ is hot, the pool is cool, come relax after a day on the trails!

Beautiful Oak Tree

This is our second time staying under the big, beautiful oak tree. Jamie is a wonderful host and the spot is perfect for what we needed. We will try to stay again next time we are passing through Gilroy. Highly recommend.

The Tipi

Great Tipi in a private location

Rented out Jamie’s Tipi last minute and arrived at 7pm, the location was easy to find and the tipi was bigger than I expected. The bench inside is a nice touch, and the firewood was easily accessible. The property is only a 5 min drive from In n Out and a few fast food places if that’s your thing. It was a great experience overall, would definitely come back!

The Love Ark Schoolie Build Site

We had a quiet night at this place but unfortunately the place was a bit disappointing and not very accurate to what has been described. The campsite was not well maintained, no firepit as described nor was there farm animals around. For what we paid and with no facilities, I would have gone somewhere else.

The Tipi

experience in living off grid

We had a great and memorable experience! The It was our first time making a fire in a tipi and sleeping in a tipi. The best part was learning about ranching from Cody. He is a great instructor and loves to share his amazing knowledge. We learned how to make rope from goat leg tendons. We milked the goats and fed and held the ducks. We will return for a workshop in October.
