KESEY FARM PROJECT

Stewarding the historic Kesey Farm and hosting future-minded, creative projects.

For over fifty years, the 39-acre Kesey Farm was not only the home of Ken Kesey and his family, but also served as headquarters and ground zero for his work as a writer, artist, playwright, impresario, prankster, and activist. It was also a lively, productive hub and test site for an extensive network of creators and thinkers such as Gary Fisher, Allen Ginsberg, and the Grateful Dead, to name a few. 

In 2016, Ken’s granddaughter, Kate Smith, launched the Kesey Farm Project with the support of family and friends. Furthering the Farm’s role as a place of innovation, and honoring the creative energy and boundless spirit of Ken Kesey, the project fosters a cross-disciplinary community.

The Kesey Farm Project is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization, EIN 83-3676908.
