About this venue

Pie Ranch is a 27.5-acre farm that serves youth and our community through educational programming, community events, and partnerships with the Amah Mutsun Land Trust as well as other land-based organizations. We are located on the ancestral homelands of the Quiroste peoples, of whom there are no living descendants, and we partner with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. A stunning coastal venue for a farm wedding, Pie Ranch offers an events barn, a large meadow, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and redwood classroom. We are located just across Hwy 1 from Año Nuevo State Park and beach. Please inquire with us to learn more, or to come out for a site tour!


Our event spaces

Meadow & Outdoor Kitchen

A picture-perfect meadow with ocean views and a cozy atmosphere, right next to a fully equipped and rustic-chic outdoor kitchen.

Our events meadow is directly across from the outdoor kitchen, and next to our wildflower hedgerow and apple orchards. The meadow has a cozy fire pit for evening festivities, and the option to string lights for a dusk time dinner. The meadow is also right below our most popular ocean-view ceremony spot. The outdoor kitchen with woodfire pizza oven is fully stocked for caterers and chefs to prepare the perfect farm-to-table dinner.

    Pie Ranch is such a wonderful venue! We loved golden hour in the garden/orchard and ending the evening with a beautiful dance party in the barn. Magical property and the staff is a breeze to collaborate with!
