Sustainable Student Farm invites students and community members alike to join them for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Sustainable Student Farm, explore Registered Student Organizations (RSO), hear exciting current projects from horticulture faculty and our collaborators, and enjoy free special dishes prepared by Dining Services featuring SSF produce. The food provided is available on a first come, first served basis.
Between 3-5 PM, explore RSO tables, graze the delicious options from dining services, and attend tours of the Sustainable Student Farm, the Sustainable Student Gardens (our new teaching gardens), and the Woody Perennial Polyculture site. From 5-6 PM settle in with a plate and hear from our horticulture faculty in the College of ACES and from our collaborators both on and off campus, including the Illinois Arboretum, the Pilot Processing Plant, and Common Ground Food Co-Op. Finally, between 6-7 PM, we will offer an after-hours tour. Please be aware that the final shuttle will leave at approximately 6 PM.
