Students use the Teaching and Research Farm and Agroecology Laboratory to enhance their coursework in agroecology, agroforestry, renewable energy, and sustainable farming practices. The farm is approximately 35 acres of pasture with 130 acres woodlot and woodlands. It includes a large greenhouse, late-nineteenth century barn, and a student residence where students work on the sustainable production of vegetables, fruit crops, poultry and livestock.
