Sustainable Communities

Sandy Loam designs and delivers place-based and community-centered programs that integrate foundational community wellbeing systems with agriculture and the environment. Our flagship program at the City of Cotati’s Veronda-Falletti Ranch demonstrates the breadth and depth of our capabilities and best exemplifies what can be accomplished through well-designed public-private partnerships.

Making it possible for people to "understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature…" — Dr. Maria Montessori

Welcome 2026!

We are honored to report that Sandy Loam’s Work Plan at Veronda-Falletti Ranch was approved unanimously by City Council.

In 2026, our work will center on three priority areas: Education & Engagement, Wellbeing and Community & Recreation. These focus areas are drawn from current community needs in Sonoma County, reflecting growing demand for accessible programs that foster wellbeing, hands-on learning opportunities, and inclusive spaces that foster connection, resilience, and belonging.

We look forward to making Cotati and Sonoma County proud!
