Students experience the full cycle of farming on this 10-acre farm, located within walking distance to campus. From planting seeds to harvesting crops, from growing mushrooms to raising chickens, students help ensure that crops are well maintained, mushrooms have the perfect growing environment, and animals are well tended  — a way of life that is uniquely demanding and rewarding.

The value of the experience is incalculable. Some of the students who work at the Kenyon Farm plan to operate their own farms when they graduate. Others are interested in working in public policy regarding food safety and sustainability issues. This hands-on experience is a chance to participate in agricultural life to its fullest within an academic environment.
