The Alonzo Farm[1] is a locale in California, U.S.A. circa 1980 CE and is notable for being the first clandestine Galactican settlement on Earth.
The beleaguered farm was established by Hector Alonzo and his family sometime in the late 1970s CE. Due to backhanded tactics of John Steadman and his influence over the local grower's association, Alonzo's attempts to make the farm sustainable were continually undermined.
Following the loss of various agro ships at Cylon hands, the Galacticans find themselves in need of a food source with Captain Troy and Lieutenant Dillon leading the charge to establish a new agro community. In doing so, they happen upon Alonzo's advertisement in the newspaper for farm hands.
With the assistance of Jamie Hamilton, the The Super Scouts, and Doctor Zee, the Galacticans are able to make the farm viable, after obtaining additional seed and a horse by Galactican means. Trained agro specialists from the Galactican Fleet conveyed via the anti-gravity ship, along with the Super Scouts, begin permanent settlement there. The Alonzos promise Troy and Dillon that they'll treat them as if they were members of his own family, thankful for their assistance (1980: "Space Croppers").
