In an effort to help Purdue students learn about sustainable agriculture, the College of Agriculture and the Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management collaborated to develop a student-run farming initiative. The student farm is the first farm at Purdue University managed primarily by students. It sits on a lovely five acre tract of land on the west edge of campus. The farm is being developed for and by the students to increase Purdue’s opportunity to offer real-life farm development, management and marketing skills. The students raise a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and animals. Produce is currently sold to restaurant outlets on campus and through produce baskets (a CSA – community supported agriculture project). Courses are being developed that will be taught at the farm, and a summer internship experience is available from May through August For More Information visit: Purdue Student Farm Website
