More than 100 years ago, Dr. Maria Montessori revolutionized our understanding of how young people learn through her research and experiences. Her theory of child development and the resulting method of education continues to be validated to this day.

We are inspired by Dr. Montessori’s belief that farms are the optimal educational laboratories for young people. At Sandy Loam, we integrate the fundamental principles of the Montessori Method with an immersive farm- and nature- based learning environment for children, youth and families.

We are passionate about engaging with our community through programs that focus on the environment, agriculture, cuisine and Sonoma County’s diverse cultural heritage.

Contact Aishwarya at info@sandyloam.org if you are interested in implementing a community program in collaboration with Sandy Loam.
