LaFarm

Our mission is to integrate curriculum and practice in sustainable food and agriculture for the campus community. We grow produce for the dining halls, recycle nutrients from composted food back into the soil, and serve as a home for collaborative student-faculty education and research.

LaFarm is a three-acre working farm and community garden focused on diversified vegetables and flowers located at the Metzgar Field Athletic complex in Forks Township.  We house production fields, pollinator gardens, high tunnels, and our greenhouse. LaFarm provides healthy food to the community, fosters multidisciplinary student engagement through classroom participation, enables academic research, and offers volunteer opportunities.

If you want to buy our produce, you can find us at the West Ward Farmers’ Market in the summer and fall, or visit our on campus farmstand during the fall semester, located on the corner of Cattle St. and High St.  You can also shop our online marketplace, which offers pick up from campus locations from Mother’s Day to Thanksgiving each year.

We hope to see you soon out at LaFarm!
