The City of Cotati owns the historic Veronda-Falletti Ranch, located at 175 West Sierra Avenue in Cotati. The ranch is a 4.37 acre property that is currently home to chickens, cows, goats, and sheep. The home on the property is used for classroom space for children's programming and workshops. The outdoor space is also used for educational programming for all ages. 

In partnership with ranch partners, Sandy Loam and Farmster, the City of Cotati is seeking community input and feedback on current programs, and what programs you would like to see added in the future. 

Please take a few moments to complete this survey and provide us with feedback. 

The survey is broken up into sections depending on age, so all sections might not apply to you. If a section doesn't apply, simply just skip it. 

Thank you for helping shape the future of the Veronda-Falletti Ranch!
