Friends of Loma Vista Farm

Lucy and her 6 goat buddies just hanging out loving life. <3

Stormy and Flash enjoying some pasture time on a foggy morning.

The goats and Lucy are so loving their new yard, which is all fixed up with retaining walls. They love spending long days everyday hanging out with each other and lounging on the sun-warmed bricks. <3

Jellybean picked out his favorite leaf. <3

Volunteers are so important to the Farm. We appreciate the time and dedication. This project will help make the job they do easier.

The retaining wall is looking great! Your donation dollars at work! Not only do the goats get a great area, the erosion is stopped. It was so needed.

Our turkey hen was broody for a long time. She just sat and sat and sat, not even on eggs. She finally gave up and adopted these three young chickens. It's cute to see her following them around.

Wishing you all a Happy Halloween from our wild and wonderful Purrana and the rest of us at the Farm.

Here is an opportunity to leave your mark in the community and help Loma Vista Farm at the same time. We are holding this Brick Fundraiser in order to continue work on our multiyear master plan. We are starting Phase 2 which encompasses all aspects of the Alpaca Habitat.

With great sadness, we announce that our sweet Clyde died today. He was 16 years old, which is very old for a pig. The Farm was his very happy home for the last 14 years. We will miss him very much. :(

Rocky feeling a little sassy today. :)

Guess who just turned 18 years old? Our sweet cow girls Keebler and Oreo. It's a pretty amazing thing for cows to live out their whole life with nothing but love. That's what happens when you live at Loma Vista Farm. Cows live to be about 20 or so years old, so our girls are seniors. We are grateful for the community's support and donations to provide happy forever homes for the animals that live here.

We love the Farm. It takes a loving community and many volunteers to keep it going. I’d like to send Happy Birthday wishes to Janice...one of our longest serving volunteers. We couldn’t do it without you!

We got the alpacas weighed. Calvin tried to cheat by keeping his back legs off the scale. We worked it out and he weighs 111 lbs. Interesting that Rocky the goat weighs only 2 pounds less even though they have such different body shapes. Here they are discussing the indignity of having their weights broadcast to the public. :) <3

Thunder got weighed today. He actually weighed 48 pounds, but he's cheating a little. When he's this cute, it's hard to care. :D

Jellybean standing on his hind legs so he can get some water on his tummy. He's too cute. <3

Keebler and Oreo are ready for the winter rains. Today the area in front of their barn where there was a huge mud hole in the winter got cleared, covered with drainage tile, and gravel placed on top. Here's some pictures of the cowgirl's adventure today.

It's frequently thought that horses can eat as many apples and carrots as they want. The truth is that apples and carrots are very high in sugar, which can cause a debilitating issue in a horse's hooves called laminitis. Here's Flash showing off his healthy hoof. We follow our vet's recommendations very carefully and keep him and his buddy Stormy on a very careful diet so they will have a long, healthy life.

Hello friends and volunteers. We will be holding a volunteer work day this month to catch up on the many items that require attention around the farm. This will be a family event that all ages can attend. Light painting, repairing, weeding, and general maintenance items will be the activities of the day. The day is Saturday September 19th from 9-3pm. Social distancing and masks are required. Should you have questions contact our coordinator Greg Cox 707-771-0490 or [email protected]. Any hours available will be appreciated! See you Saturday.

Have you ever wondered why there are bowling balls in the pig yard? What's your best guess as to why?
