Work side-by-side with Hidden Villa's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) team as they grow Hidden Villa's organic produce. With your hands in the soil, you'll learn from our expert farmers how Hidden Villa practices small-scale organic farming. Typical activities include seasonal planting, transplanting, weeding, harvesting, mulching, pruning, and building the occasional protective gopher cage.
