Sustainable Student Farm

The SSF mission is to serve as an accessible living laboratory for small, diversified farm education and training. We seek to empower students to engage in thoughtful, sustainable, and innovative agricultural practices through outreach, demonstrations, and research.

Sustainable Student Farm

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. 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.

Several students give excited poses while standing at the farm stand.
