What we do

The Sustainable Student Farm grows 40-50 Vegetable and fruit crops on 6 acres on South Lincoln in Urbana. Student workers and volunteers plant, cultivate and harvest produce using low input and organic practices. The majority of our produce goes to the dining halls here on campus all year around. We also sell our produce at a farm stand on the quad and through an online store starting in late May and going through the fall semester.
