Hello, This is Laurel from Pace Solano. I would like to send a small group of 5-6 individuals to the farm to visit the animals and garden. We haven’t been out since covid. Can a small group come by without an appointment?
Hi Laurel:
I will send your request on to Farmer Rita.
Take care,

Hi Farmer Rita,
Our kindergarteners would love to visit again. We have five classes, approx 120 students. Is April 30th available? If not, is April 23rd or 25th (last choice) available? We’d love to visit from 10:00-12:30.
Additionally, could we plant seeds plus any other fun activities? We have enough supervision and funds to pay for anything extra. Thank you!

Hi Farmer Rita,
We are visiting your farm on Friday, March 24. We will arrive around 10:00. We will leave around 12:30. I just saw that we can ask for activities. Are there any activities available during our time? ANY activity would be great: brush/pet animals, dig for worms (we save drownding worms from the massive rain : ), rub leaves together, and/or weather station (this might be above kindergarteners). If there is an activity that requires more money, I will pay for my families. Just let me know : ) Looking forward to our visit.
