About Us

S&S Friendly Ranch is a black-owned and operated neighborhood ranch in San Diego, CA. As a hub for education and innovation, we promote regenerative land stewardship, cultivating harmonious kinship between humans and the land.

We are a premiere agricultural host in the Tijuana River Valley for local partnerships that foster an environment of learning, financial empowerment, and collective work.

Together, we’re building on the strong foundation laid by Sim and Sarah.
