Campus Community Farm

In March 2010 SMCM students planted the first farm crop for the campus. Located on Rt. 5 south of the college just past Rosecroft Road, the Farm is dedicated to growing organic vegetables for the Great Room. An active group of Campus Farm managers offer fun, relaxing activities activities for students.

Several academic courses have already incorporated the farm into their curriculum.  All students may come out to hoe or plant or weed for as short or long as they want.  Volunteers are welcome!
