Pie Ranch

Pie Ranch is a nonprofit organization dedicated to food education, regenerative agriculture, and community collaborations. Through hands-on programs and regional partnerships, we support a nourishing food system that benefits people and the land.

Pie Ranch is committed to fairness, access, and opportunity across all programs. We recognize that economic and structural barriers shape participation in food and farming systems, and we work to reduce those barriers through education, community partnerships, and inclusive program design. 

We are thrilled to offer The Pie Ranch Artist Residency Program. This program will welcome seven artists to live and work on the farm from November 2-15, 2026.

The Pie Ranch Artist Residency is specifically designed for artists whose work addresses food issues, farmworker issues, agroecology, Indigenous foodways, and/or food self sufficiency or artists who would like to propose and create new work that address these topics. 

We are excited to host artists from multiple disciplines and/or artists who work across many disciplines including but not limited to: visual artists, painters and muralists, film makers, writers and poets, musicians, chefs, photographers, dancers, and more. 

We also welcome artists’ collaborations that would like to work on a project together during their time at the residency. 

This residency will be self-directed and project-based. Artists can choose to continue working on a pre-existing project that addresses topics of food justice or work on a new body of work. 

We prioritize proposals aligning with Pie Ranch’s mission and values and that align with the intersections of art, food, and farming.

As a non-profit educational farm, we are committed to creating a community of artists from diverse backgrounds.
