The Hay Barn and the UCSC Farm and Chadwick Garden are managed by the UC Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology, an organization that works to advance agroecology and equitable food systems through research, education and public service. The 30-acre UCSC Farm and the Chadwick Garden serve as outdoor classrooms and research sites, and feature organically managed gardens, row crops, orchards, research plots, and an aquaculture research facility (Farm).

The original Cowell Ranch Hay Barn was built in the early 1860s as part of the Cowell Lime Works operation. The Hay Barn was an integral part of the Cowell Ranch, housing feed and the animals that hauled logs, limestone, and finished lime. Today the Hay Barn and the many nearby historic structures from the lime works period are part of the Cowell Lime Works Historic District.
