Since 1989, our 4-acre working Farm has become a popular agriculture education site for many youth from various Southern California counties. We currently have volunteers providing educational tours to elementary-aged students from Monday through Friday during the months of September through June, but we are always in need of more help to aid us in educating today’s youth about agriculture and the role it plays in our daily lives.
