Head out on Friday, September 11th, 3-7 PM for the 2026 Sustainable Student Farm Open House!
They invite students and community members alike to join them for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Sustainable Student Farm. Explore Registered Student Organizations and local organizations, hear exciting current projects from horticulture faculty and the collaborators, and enjoy free special dishes prepared by Dining Services featuring Sustainable Student Farm produce. This event is free and open to the public.
Between 3-5 PM, explore RSO and local organization tables, graze the delicious options from dining services, and attend tours of the Sustainable Student Farm, the Sustainable Student Gardens (the new teaching gardens), and the Woody Perennial Polyculture site. From 5-6 PM settle in with a plate and hear from the horticulture faculty in the College of ACES and from the collaborators both on and off campus, including the Illinois Arboretum, the Pilot Processing Plant, and Common Ground Food Co-Op. Finally, between 6-7 PM, they will offer a final after-hours tour for interested parties.
They ask that you enter at the gate on the gravel section of S. Lincoln near its intersection with E. Windsor. Parking will be available in the grass along the outside of the fence.
