I remember when the Valley was still orange groves. I shot a short film called "Piggies" at the Pierce College Farm when I was in high school. Too much development has destroyed the valley. We need to keep some open lands and the farm is ideal for that.
Los Angeles has so few agricultural spaces. We can't afford to lose one. Pierce College Farm is one of the reasons that students choose Pierce instead of going out of town or out of state to get hands-on experience.
The Board of Trustees should be ashamed of themselves. This is not a private college yet you have made a decision that you cannot justify. Your refusal to discuss the matter proves yout arrogance & disrespect for the community.
I am pre-vet at Pierce College and am devastated by this news!! The farm is what makes Pierce, Pierce College! Please don't take this away from us. Why is sea full of franchise businesses and coporate buildings would you want to shut down a landmark like this!
Students learn best in a hands-on environment, and the animals deserve their loving caretakers. Would you like to have a surgeon who performs surgery on you after learning without sufficient real life situations and decision-making? Please keep the farm, as it is. Thank you.
The farm is/has been such a great resource for the community. It would be a great loss if it were to close.

I drive from north Santa Clarita to this farm; I would be very disappointed to see it go. Not only does it serve the community, but it is critical for students of agricultural and veterinary sciences to learn in a working farm environment.
