The Property
Situated on 320 Acres overlooking the lush Hopland valley in Mendocino County, SunHawk Eco Farms is a family-owned biodynamic farm that is the vision of John Schaefer, owner and fellow pickleball enthusiast. Besides being breathtakingly beautiful, the property is an incredible testament to alternative energy sources.
SunHawk is entirely off the grid with zero fossil fuels used. SunHawk Eco Farms is powered by an extensive solar array system providing electricity during the summer months, and a hydroelectric system that provides additional energy in the off months when the seasonal creek is flowing.
