Donated by Emma Prusch to the City of San Jose in 1962 to use to demonstrate the valley's agricultural past, it includes a 4-H barn (the largest in San Jose), community gardens, a rare-fruit orchard, demonstration gardens, picnic areas, and expanses of lawn.[1] The land for this 42-acre (17 ha) farm park was donated by Emma Prusch to the City of San Jose[2] in 1962 to keep for agricultural purposes, and provides an introduction to farm life.Barn space is provided to city kids in the 4-H and Future Farmers of America so they can experience farming practices in an urban environment.In the spring, the park offers guided tours for K–3 school groups.These tours provide a sensory education emphasis while students learn about gardens, fruit orchard, poultry and livestock.
