From the LA Times:
You read that right. Irvine – that bastion of staid, putty-colored suburban respectability
– was home to a commune of sorts in the late 1960s, albeit a short-lived one. The
Farm, as it was known, was a social-studies experiment established by UC Irvine in
1968, in which members of indigenous groups from Samoa, Mexico and Guatemala were
invited to inhabit the old Irvine Ranch buildings adjacent to the campus so that they
could teach scientists and university students about their ways of life.
