The Richard J. Elkus Ranch is less than 45 minutes from San Francisco and the Peninsula, yet is worlds away from city life. Nestled in the rolling hills of the San Mateo County coast, the property was once a 600-acre commercial dairy and cattle operation owned by Richard J. Elkus. This facility was donated to the University of California in 1975 by the late Richard J. Elkus for the “education of children.” Our livestock and gardens provide opportunities for children to experience first-hand how food and fiber are produced. On site we have a sensory garden, Master Gardener volunteer demonstration garden, and an enabling garden for those with special needs. Hundreds of acres of open space encourage exploration of the native plants and animals that inhabit the area.
An Environmental Education Center
Conference Center
Just minutes from the beach and historic Half
Moon Bay with it’s delightful inns, restaurants,
and shops, the Conference Center at Elkus Ranch
is a beautiful and serene venue with views of
Purisima Creek Canyon for meetings, retreats, or
special events.
Environmental Education
Our goal is to provide standards based programs that
are “hands on-minds on” for children in preschool
through high school, including those with special needs.
We offer both day and overnight educational programs.
The ranch is fully accessible and offers scholarships for
program fees to special education classes and low
income schools.
Family Events
The ranch also hosts scouts, 4-H clubs, and other youth
groups for both day and overnight programs. Individuals
or groups wishing to volunteer or provide community
service are appreciated.
