UGArden

UGArden is a student-founded teaching farm located just south of the main University of Georgia campus. Student and community volunteers help manage and provide the primary labor to grow approximately 4 acres of vegetables, fruits, shiitake mushrooms, and herbs using organic practices.

The mission of UGArden is to build a community of students centered on a sustainable food system by:

1) To empower students to grow their own food by teaching them the principles of organic farming through service and experiential learning.

2) To share fresh produce with local community members who are facing food insecurity, and to enhance collaboration between organizations pursuing a just and sustainable food system.

3) To serve as an interdisciplinary research site that provides diverse opportunities for exploration.

4) To promote leadership development, innovation, and social entrepreneurship among our students.
