OHIO Student Farm provides hands-on agricultural education rooted in sustainability

The OHIO Student Farm(opens in a new window), managed by the Environmental and Plant Biology department(opens in a new window) within the College of Arts and Sciences(opens in a new window), is a unique resource located on West State Street within the Ohio University Research & Enterprise Green, only a five-minute shuttle ride from Baker University Center(opens in a new window). The farm is a place where those who are passionate about farming and agriculture can learn, research and reap fresh produce in the process. The oldest part of the farm was created more than 40 years ago. It has since expanded to include approximately two acres in total including outdoor classrooms, learning gardens, student garden plots and a high tunnel—a structure resembling a greenhouse that extends the growing season for certain crops.
