Does the institution have an on-campus garden where students are able to gain organic farming and/or gardening experience?:
A brief description of the garden:
The student‐run farm project began in March of 2010 by students motivated to create a student run facility for organic agriculture, and ultimately a more sustainable campus. The student farm has grown over the past two seasons and is currently comprised of two acres with over 70 student volunteers serving in a variety of areas on and off the farm. The student volunteers come from many backgrounds and interests, with most having little prior knowledge of food production. The student farm provides an opportunity for any interested student to learn about sustainable agriculture.
