    I’m Joe Davis. My daughter Josie volunteered at your farm this past December and wondered if she could do so again on an upcoming Saturday. Even 3/16 if you needed the help.

    I can be reached via email or at 707-319-1797. Thank you for your time.

    Hi!

    I am a local photographer and have a client that would love to do a photoshoot with Christmas trees. It would be a short family photoshoot of about 5 people and I would like to see if that’s something you allow. The photoshoot is Sunday 12/10 around 10am.

    Thanks so much in advance!

    My husband died in June; he was retired and rescued bunnies in his spare time. Unfortunately, I need to rehome the bunnies he rescued since I need to downsize and move to a smaller place I can afford. A friend suggested asking you. I did 4H there when I was in the 6th and 7th grade, and it was a wonderful experience for me. I was hoping you could accept some of them. They are very loving and sweet. Maybe if you know of anyone wanting to adopt a bunny if you please let me know. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request.

    Good Morning,
    I recently bought some chickens and two of them turned out to be roosters. Would you all have any need for two roosters? Let me know either way, we are trying to find new homes for them. Thanks!

    Good afternoon!

    I was wondering if your ranch was taking in roosters this year? We bought some chicks earlier this year and ended up with one rooster. He is about 3 to 4 months old Blue Fizzle Bantam. Very sweet boy and we have nicknamed him Feather Duster.

    Our area does not allow us to have roosters, and we are trying to find the most humane way of giving him up.

    If you are not able to take him in, do you know of another location that can? We have tried the Facebook group route and have not had any luck.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi,
    Like the others, I am curious about whether or not a visit to your farm is something I could give to my nephews for a holiday gift. It is unclear from the website who is welcome to visit.

    Hi there,

    Is the farm open to the public? I would love to bring my children to visit during summer break. We went a few years ago for a school field trip right before the pandemic and the farm was a fun experience. If so, what are your hours and fees to enter?

    Thank you for your time,

    I am running a summer program through GVRD for kids and was wondering if we could do a field trip to the farm? Maybe a tour or the kids could help out!

    Hello!
    I recent was given the task of rehoming a rooster and I was wondering if you guys would like to adopt him? He’s what I’m assuming is a production red and about 4-6 months old. Likes chin scratches and is non agressive. He also gets along with cats and dogs.

    I also have a bag of pellet and scratch to go along with him free of charge and can deliver him to your location.

    Thanks!

    We have 120 TK/K students plus teachers/chaperones that would like to visit the farm. Some dates we are thinking about are May 4, 5, 11, or 12. Morning would be best to allow us to leave by noon to return to school. Please contact us if there is any availability on those days.

    Good morning Loma Vista Farm,

    My name is Jeremiah Nicolis and I am the Community Events and Adaptive Recreation Coordinator for GVRD (Greater Vallejo Recreation District). I am currently putting together programs for our summer activity guide and was wondering if you guy ever do a “mobile animal education experience” or would be willing to. This would be for our Adaptive Recreation/Special Needs community members. Our activities with this group are typically and small and vary from 1 – 10 participants with caregivers.

    If this is something you guys would be interested in I would love to provide more details,.

    Hope to hear from you soon,
