Community resource for urban agriculture education.
Mission Statement:
The Farm is an outdoor classroom that provides hands-on educational activities involving plants and animals for children of all ages and abilities. We seek to increase their knowledge of nature and nutrition while enhancing academic learning, ecoliteracy, and psychosocial development.
Program History:
Founded in 1974, Loma Vista Farm has been making a difference in the community for more than 30 years by providing schoolchildren with experiential learning opportunities that bolster their academic skills in a farm-based setting.
Volunteer Participation: Volunteers are the life-blood of the program. Businesses such as Wells Fargo Bank, Valero, & Six Flags volunteer as part of their Month of Caring. Service clubs such as the Kiwaniis, the Elks, the American Legion, the Lion's & many more have volunteered &/or donated money/supplies. Individual volunteers of all ages come to paint, clean, clear and otherwise transform the land into an educational classroom.
Program Information:
Loma Vista Farm sits on 5 acres. It has one acre of organic garden, orchard, and a greenhouse, and is the home to approx. 100 farm animals. It serves up to 18,000 people per year from all over the SF Bay Area. The Farm is a field trip site for preschools, day cares, school & youth groups, developmentally disabled groups, and seniors. There are two elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school that use the Farm on a regular basis to bring their classroom curriculum to life. The Farm is also open to the general public for drop in visits. Solano County Master Gardeners, 4-H, Green jobs training team and Carrington College Veterinary Technician program all use the Farm as a training ground for agriculture education.
