Salmon Creek Farm is a sanctuary of precious riparian and coastal redwood forest habitat, on Central Pomo land, established as a counterculture commune in 1971, now a long-term living art project shaped by many hands, a sort of queered commune-farm-homestead-school.
- As of June 2025 the non-profit Salmon Creek Arts has taken over year-round operations and programming of SCF including Schools of Salmon Creek and seasonal workshops.

Salmon Creek Farm is a place to be slow, to take a deep breath and a
step back, in both solitude and sociability. It is a place to be
embodied. With hands in soil enriched with your compost, sprouting
seasonal organic foods. Watered from the spring. You tend a warming fire
with wood from the land sheltered by cabins crafted with scavenged
materials, furnished with local finds. No plastics in sight. Feeling
small under giants that live for millennia.
We aim to continually expand the views and voices informing the place
and broaden the range of folks coming to the land. Lowering harriers
wherever possible to those who feel drawn to visit. As a queer owned and
run space it has a special sense of sanctuary for those who often don't
feel safe or welcome in rural spaces especially BIPOC and queer folks.
In 2022 the non-profit 501c3 organization Salmon Creek Arts was
established that has since taken over programming and operations, and
will eventually take ownership of Salmon Creek Farm.
