The Urban Farm: Approved!

We are very excited to announce the news that the site for our farm as well as the budget have been approved by the UCSD administration.  Now all that is left is gathering together the money to fill the budget, which was kick started by a donation from Muir College.

The vision of the UCSD URBAN FARM is to establish a vibrant experiential learning center on the UCSD campus that encourages and educates sustainable living through the growing of food. The concept of an “urban farm” provides a great resource for this multi-disciplinary approach. On 8,000 square feet in Pepper Canyon, we will be able to grow a variety of seasonal crops allowing the UCSD community to learn how to grow food in urban and suburban landscapes.

We can not wait to break ground and have begun discussions on that regard. We hope to begin the dirty work by the end of the quarter, and see the Urban Farm by the start of Fall.

Keep checking back for more updates, as we will keep you posted on the news and happenings of the UCSD Urban Farm
