      Hampshire College Farm

      The Hampshire College Farm is a working farm and thriving educational center, providing agricultural programs for the College, local community members, and school groups.

       

      With an eye toward the cultural, sustainable, and nutritional aspects of food production, the Hampshire Farm is dedicated to educating future generations of healthy, ethical food producers and consumers.

       

      The farm includes 15 acres of vegetable fields, 65 acres of pasture and hay, 5 barns, 2 high tunnels, 1 propegation greenhouse, and 1 sugar shack.

      The farm produce over 60,000 pounds of produce a year, and grow over 40 varieties of vegetables. That produce goes directly to the Hampshire College community through our 200+ member CSA, dining commons, and the Hampshire College Marketplace. The farm also produces pork, beef, turkey, eggs, honey, and maple syrup.

       

      From studying animal behavior to agriculture, Hampshire students in a wide variety of fields use the Hampshire Farm as a hub for investigating the intellectual, political, and scientific issues surrounding food production.


      Learning at Hampshire doesn't end in the classroom. Students here live their educations and, with the internship and work-study opportunities at the Hampshire Farm, can grow their educations from the seed to the table and beyond.
