August Rancho San Gregorio "Decelerator" Weekend
Join us for the fifth and final of our summer 2025 "Decelerator" weekends, and take a break from the hustle-bustle of Silicon Valley.
Take a weekend to collect your thoughts, reflect, connect with nature, and renew your energy at Rancho San Gregorio.
Join us:
For the whole weekend,
Drop in during the day Saturday,
or Stay over one night (Friday or Saturday)
Rancho San Gregorio is a unique blend of working ranch (since 1839!) with a touch of Silicon Valley: we are creating low cost agricultural robots to help small farms grow healthy food sustainably.
On August 8th to 10th we are again opening our doors for a weekend of play:
Enjoy live music and farm fresh meals around a campfire.
Camp under the stars.
Join us for our morning run on the beach.
Celebrate the end of a full day watching a sunset from our hilltop. 🍷
Learn archery, pottery, painting, blacksmithing, or wood burning.
Drive a tractor.
Mini-cow snuggles.
Yoga with our baby goats.
Dance in the redwoods.
This is a free event and space is limited so let us know why you would be a great fit. We can’t wait to meet you :)
