Centennial Farm General Information
Since 1989, our 3-acre working Farm has become a popular agriculture education site for many youth from various Southern California counties. We currently have tour guides (docents) providing educational tours to elementary-aged students, Monday through Friday, during the months of September through June, and we are always in need of more help to aid us in educating today’s youth about agriculture and the role it plays in our daily lives.
