Does the institution have an on-campus garden where students are able to gain organic farming and/or gardening experience?:
A brief description of the garden:
EMU has five gardens spread out across campus raising produce for the campus cafeteria, in the summer for the school's Community Support Agriculture (CSA) project, and for sale at a weekly farm market on campus to the campus and wider community. Students do 90% of the work and planning with some logistical help from the Grounds Dept., a faculty advisor who previously ran a CSA, and a cooperative relationship with food service. The gardens are not certified organic, but they are no-spray and use organic growing methods.
