Hansen Agricultural Research and Education Center (HAREC) - Camarillo

5352 Beardsley Road, Camarillo

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.  

As the Master Gardeners begin to establish new demonstration gardens and activities at this location they are currently focused on: 

  • 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. 

Volunteer Work Days: Wednesdays from 9am-11am
