Bring your friends, wear your dancing shoes, and celebrate community, conservation, and connection—all for a great cause!

  • Educates over 7,000 students annually, with 100+ field trips and ~200 classes each year
  • Impactful student stories: one 3rd-grader became so inspired by chickens that they started their own flock!
  • Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and CA state standards

Why It Matters:

  • Preserves and activates a piece of local history—the Nicolaus Dairy—while educating on sustainable agriculture and water resource connection 
  • Delivers memorable, hands-on learning that reinforces classroom science lessons
