Friends of Loma Vista Farm

Loma Vista Farm is a 5-acre outdoor classroom that provides hands-on educational activities involving plants and animals for children of all ages and abilities. We seek to increase students’ knowledge of nature and nutrition while enhancing academic learning, ecoliteracy, and psychosocial development.

Founded in 1974, Loma Vista Farm has been making a difference in the community for almost four decades as a resource for environmental education.

The services the Farm provides to the community are:

• A place for individuals and families to enjoy time outdoors among the many farm animals and gardens
• Field trips for schools, day cares, youth, seniors, and special needs groups
• Regular visits for the nearby two preschools, two elementary, two middle, one high school, and one adult transition school
• Standards-based curriculum for school-age students
• Garden-based workshops for adults
• Job training for college students, developmentally disabled young adults, and disadvantaged youth
• After-school opportunities through 4-H
• Community service and volunteer opportunities
