In Italian, Sagra is “a local festival and feast to bring in the harvest - a celebration of nature, of earth and its bounty.”

Sagra is a hospitality company whose mission is to connect people with sustainable farms. Sagra invites guests to stay overnight on a beautiful property, learn about regenerative farming practices, and savor delicious meals with ingredients fresh from the farm. Through building and operating hospitality experiences, including lodging and dining, Sagra creates better connections to our food, our land and each other. Each stay on a Sagra farm directly contributes to the farm’s bottom line, supporting another season of farming, feeding the community, and improving the health of the land.

Our love for the land, food, and its people is at the heart of Sagra.  Our ability to grow as a hospitality company is rooted in the strength and diversity of our team.  In bringing together individuals with varied pasts, backgrounds, perspectives, and talents we believe we can learn from one another, build upon cumulative ideas, and translate these into unforgettable experiences for our guests.  Sagra is about coming together as a community to show how we respect and care for our land, for our farms, and for each other.  We look forward to building this community with you. 

Our initial location is Stemple Creek Ranch in Tomales, CA. We will be building and setting up a 10 room site with a food & beverage component that will run from April 9th through early July - with potential to extend.

Along with overnight accommodations Sagra will be offering a morning breakfast basket and evening meal service. There will also be a farm stand open throughout the day selling food items sourced from the area and artisan goods. 

The role will be centered around the launch of Sagra at Stemple Creek Ranch and running the guest experience alongside the Head of Hospitality. 

The role will start in mid-March to help bring the site to life. The goal will be to have the manager take full ownership of daily operations by May.

The manager brings a spirit and energy to Sagra that sets the tone for the guest and staff experience at Stemple Creek Ranch. They oversee daily service, employees, interact with guests on site and make them feel welcome and at ease in a new environment. This leader must have a curiosity and interest in sustainable agriculture and desire to immerse themselves in the fabric of Stemple Creek Ranch for the length of the Sagra experience.
