Hidden Villa Farm

Multilingual interpretive signage shares a century-long legacy of education, community-building, and regenerative farming for a just and sustainable future.

The welcome kiosk provides a quick orientation with maps of the farm and trails and gets visitors excited about what to see and do while exploring Hidden Villa.

 

On a Hidden Villa’s Hidden Villa offer educational experiences that build connections and inspire deeper appreciation and respect for nature, food, and one another

We worked with staff to develop a new multilingual welcome kiosk and wayside signage to welcome diverse visitors and supporting their experience of Hidden Villa.

In the Education Garden, visitors explore seasonal crops and make connections to their personal experiences.
