Wells Fargo's Concord Home Equity Marketing Team Volunteers For A Day! - June 3, 2009

Loma Vista Farm sends a huge Thank You to Margery Llacuna and the Home Equity Marketing team at Wells Fargo's Concord offices for their hard work at Loma Vista Farm.  A note from Kevin Village Stone, Loma Vista Farm's caretaker, "Margery, Thanks so much for a superb effort in helping us renovate the planter area near our greenhouse. The existing irrigation system is old, broken, and unsalvageable but thanks to your efforts in weeding and digging a new trench, we can now drop in a new irrigation line. This planter area features many educational plants for field trips so you have helped a very vital area. From myself and Loma Vista Farm, thank you very much!"

Native American Education Expands at Loma Vista Farm - February 28, 2009


This past December, Kevin Village Stone mesmerized children with a Native American culture and music presentation at the Trinity Lutheran Church Preschool in Walnut Creek. Kevin has been receiving more requests for such presentations in many schools and districts surrounding Vallejo. Kevin Village Stone is Loma Vista Farm's new Caretaker and team lead for the Native American education opportunities at Loma Vista Farm.

At yesterday's luncheon, the Rotary Club of Vallejo presented a check in the amount of $10,000 to Judi Salvadori, Friends of Loma Vista Farm Board Vice President, for the Loma Vista Farm to build a new Rabbit House. Connie Klemisch, past president, 2008 of the Rotary Club, spearheaded this project for Loma Vista Farm.

Loma Vista Farm sends a huge THANK YOU to the Rotary Club for the wonderful gift to the Farm, and for supporting education in our community.

The current rabbit house is in dire need or replacement as it's decades old. Time and aging has taken its toll on the structure. This new project for the rabbits, a Rabbit House, adds to the excitement on the Farm which is currently undergoing major construction projects for a new kitchen classroom building, Moozie's Barn, and caretaker home. The Rabbits and visiting classes and students at the farm will be eager to see the new Rabbit House in the works.

Thank You to the Rotary Club. This is a tremendous gift recognized the entire community.

On behalf of the Friends of Loma Vista Farm we would like to thank our Vallejo community for purchasing and supporting us by buying Christmas trees, wreaths and poinsettias.

The Friends of Loma Vista Farm is a privately funded, nonprofit fund-raising organization supporting this education and learning animal farm. The Farm is supported 100 percent by FLVF and without private funding the Farm could not continue to operate.

We wish to thank the Times-Herald for its support and the much appreciated articles written by Lanz. Thank you, board members and Farm Friends who gave their time spending cold and also wet evenings helping with selling of trees and the making of wreaths.
