In 2002, three founding partners — Nancy Vail, Jered Lawson, and Karen Heisler — accessed a 14-acre slice of land on California’s San Mateo coast, 55 miles south of San Francisco along Highway 1, in the unceded lands of the Quiroste Tribe. As there are currently no known descendants of the Quiroste, today these lands are tended and cared for in their honor by the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and Land Trust with whom Pie Ranch is in an ongoing partnership. The AMTB/AMLT invite other indigenous peoples and allies to join them in their efforts.

Pie Ranch's founding partners shared a vision to create a regenerative farming and food system education center to build community; provide a space for healing our relationships with ourselves, each other and the earth; steward the land and the environment; sequester carbon through climate friendly farming techniques; engage and employ young people on the land; share resources with new farmers; make healthy food accessible to Bay Area communities; leverage privilege to address systemic racism; dismantle white supremacy and all forms of oppression; create space for joy and celebration; and build a beloved community through strategic partnerships.
