The MSU Student Organic Farm is a 15-acre certified organic year round teaching and production farm. Our markets include 42-week CSA, 5-month on campus farm stand, and sales to MSU dining halls. We use passive solar greenhouses (hoophouses) to produce and distribute fresh produce all year long. Winter production includes salad mix, spinach, kale, collards, chard, Asian greens, cilantro, parsley, radishes, carrots, beets, and more. These fresh items are combined with storage crops, such as squash, garlic, potatoes, onions, cabbage, rutabaga, to create bountiful shares throughout the winter. The Farm also operates an 8-month Organic Farmer Training Program (OFTP) and a Farmer Field School. Please visit our website to learn more about our CSA, educational programming, and opportunities to get involved: www.msuorganicfarm.org

Schedule and Location:
We sell produce to MSU's campus dining, as well as local restaurants, grocery stores, food processors, and a local multi-farm CSA. We make an effort to ensure that these businesses have attempted to source specific items from other local producers before selling to them. This provides our students with the opportunity to learn about growing on a larger scale using mechanized planting and cultivation methods and to learn about marketing for wholesale.
