Farm 1563 is a modern desert farm rooted in simplicity, stewardship, and community. Set on sun-powered land in the California desert, we grow, make, and teach through hands-on rituals that bring people back to what matters—care for the body, respect for the land, and the confidence that comes from creating something real. From small-batch goods to on-farm workshops and education, Farm 1563 exists for those who want to live more intentionally and take control of their everyday lives.
Farm 1563 is a modern desert farm shaped by land, loss, resilience, and the belief that simple skills can change lives. Located in the California desert and powered by the sun, the farm brings together agriculture, education, and small-batch making as tools for confidence, healing, and long-term stability.
The vision for Farm 1563 grew from years of community service and youth-focused work rooted in dignity, creativity, and care. Over time, that work naturally expanded toward land—toward creating a physical place where learning could happen slowly, hands-on, and in connection with nature.
Today, Farm 1563 hosts workshops, education, and value-added agricultural projects that teach people how to grow, make, and live more intentionally. From cultivating plants and crafting goods to learning practical life and business skills, the farm is designed as a place where individuals can participate, build confidence, and take control of their everyday lives.
Farm 1563 exists for foster youth, families, and community members—anyone seeking a simpler, more grounded way forward. We believe land can be a teacher, making can be empowering, and shared work can create lasting change rooted in respect for people and place.
Our offerings are rooted in small-batch production and hands-on learning shaped by the land itself. From thoughtfully made goods to farm-based workshops, each product and experience is created with care, simplicity, and intention. By combining making with learning, Farm 1563 supports practical skills, confidence, and a deeper connection to everyday rituals grounded in place.
