What is Loma Vista Farm?
Loma Vista Farm is an outdoor classroom for children, which is a part of the Vallejo City Unified School District. Run on three acres by the students themselves, the farm is home to many animals including horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, an organic garden and a greenhouse. The Farm serves over 18,000 children a year, providing an intriguing environment for education in science, human relation skills and agricultural literacy.
History
For nearly 30 years, Loma Vista Farm has been operated under the direction of teacher Thom Arcadi and visited by students in Solano County and other school districts in the Bay Area. Vallejo families visit the Farm, and gardening classes are held for adults.
Loma Vista Farm is in Danger!
Because of the current fiscal crisis, the Vallejo City Unified School District Board had to make a difficult decision to eliminate all of the funding for Loma Vista Farm in recent budget cuts. These cuts will close down the farm by summer 2003 if action is not taken to save it.
