LaFarm is a sustainability initiative at the College and the cornerstone of the Lafayette College Sustainable Food Loop.
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 to the soil, and serve as a home for collaborative student-faculty education and research.
LaFarm provides healthy food to the community, multidisciplinary student engagement through classroom participation and academic research. LaFarm is located at the Metzgar Field Athletic complex. We hope to see you soon out at LaFarm!
We kept growing food in 2021! And what a joy it has been. 2021 marked the return of our students back on-campus for learning, and farming, and an explosive interest in outdoor opportunities to be in authentic relationship with fellow students. LaFarm has been a busy place to be.
Sign-up for the LaFarm Newsletter to stay up to date on happenings at the farm as well as ordering information. Support local with LaFarm!
The farm is located on Sullivan Trail, in Forks Township, 3 miles north of campus and is adjacent to the Metzgar Athletic Field Complex. We hope to see you there as the weather warms! Bike, ride the campus shuttle or carpool to LaFarm.
