In December 2022, the University of California acquired a 114-acre farm property on the west side of Camarillo to become the new home of the HAREC supported by an endowment bequeathed to the University of California by Saticoy farmer Thelma Hansen.

- Theme gardens such as cut flowers, seasonal vegetables, children’s activities, and pet-friendly.
- High-quality compost production and education.
- Propagation of giveaway plants for the public.
- Growing and propagating plants for the Ventura County Fair.
