About this Location

Sanchez Farm is a 14-acre property located on Arenal Road Southwest. This property was historically in agriculture production, owned and farmed by the Sanchez family for more than 300 years before the county’s Public Works division purchased it to serve as a storm drainage facility.

The property provides important ecological functions with established wetlands and bioswales to mitigate water pollution. Additionally, the site is community farmed with extensive educational programming for all ages led by the La Plazita Institute (LPI). Open Space staff and LPI have worked with The Recuerda a César Chávez Committee since 2010 to organize a large-scale César Chávez Day of Service where hundreds of students come to the farm to learn about César Chávez and participate in hands-on farming.
