What we do…

Under the leadership of faculty, the farm manager and interns, student’s are mentored and guided through hands-on agriculturally-related experiences in the field and greenhouses.  The results are the production of over six tons of produce for campus and the community, a new awareness of the food system and knowledge of a farm as an agro-ecosystem and place for innovation, research, leadership skills, access to organic fresh vegetables and a potential for a healthier lifestyle.
