Mission Statement

The mission of the Albion College Student Farm is to cultivate a student-organized, all natural, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing produce garden for the benefit of students, faculty, and community members of all ages. We will strive to promote gardening as an uplifting, healthful, environmentally friendly activity; to offer those interested the opportunity to experiment with organic gardening practices; to raise awareness about the role of a localized diet in reducing carbon footprint; to help ensure equal access to nutritious food in the Albion community by donating produce to local charities; and to encourage Albion residents, especially youth, to learn about and appreciate organic gardening and become more connected with their local food system.

This summer is ACSF's first, and two students (Kaitlyn Pospeich and Cody Yothers) will be breaking soil with help from the Albion College Grounds Dept., the Equestrian Center, and the Center for Sustainability and the Environment (formerly the E.I.)
