Does the institution have an on-campus garden where students are able to gain organic farming and/or gardening experience?:
Yes

A brief description of the garden:

Fresh Gatherings Café is a student-supported cafeteria that utilizes an on-campus organic garden (approximately one acre) to grow a variety of produce and raise cage-free hens that lay organic eggs. Students in the Nutrition and Dietetics program prepare the food sold at Fresh Gatherings Café and in the process earn credits towards their degrees in the culinary arts. Produce that is not used in food preparation is either sold at Fresh Gatherings Cafe or through local farmer’s markets.
