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.⁣
