Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
Shone Farm includes approximately 120 acres of forest, 100 acres of pasture, 92 acres of vineyard, 12 acres of crop production, 4 acres of olive and apple trees, and 39 acres of buildings and improvements. Altogether, Shone farm is one of the largest agriculture sites in the California Community Colleges system. In addition to the agricultural land, there is open space around the farm’s perimeter that serves as wildlife corridors and habitat. SRJC Ag/Natural Resource students are taught commercial production techniques at Shone Farm, which prepare them for the workplace, or to transfer to a four-year university.
