To celebrate National Farmer's Day, we would like to to put a spotlight on @rutgersstudentfarm 🧺
The Student Farm, located at @rutgersgardens in New Brunswick, functions as an outdoor classroom for hands-on coursework throughout the year and is a source for local organic food. In the interest of supporting the local community, fresh produce is donated weekly to @elijahspromise and the Community Soup Kitchen in New Brunswick, amounting to hundreds of pounds annually.
The summer interns who contribute to the farm operation are part of a 16-week Student Farm Internship Program. These paid positions offer students the opportunity to learn about production, local food justice, community outreach, and more, by helping with all aspects of small-scale organic farming, from bed preparation and planting to harvesting and distribution of produce.
Check out Cook's Market at Rutgers Gardens on Fridays from 11am to 3pm to take advantage of quality vendors and delicious products.
