Michigan State University (MSU) Student Organic Farm

The Farmers Advocating for Organic (FAFO) has awarded the Michigan State University (MSU) Student Organic Farm a $50,000 grant from the Organic Valley cooperative. The largest farmer-funded grant program in the U.S. and one of the few focused solely on organic provides a way to address long-term needs of the organic marketplace and the future of organic agriculture. The MSU Student Organic Farm is housed in the Culinary Division of Student Life and Engagement.

            The grant will support and educate the next generation of organic farmers and consumers and MSU undergraduates that have been historically underserved and underrepresented by agricultural institutions. Workshops include information on regenerative agriculture, cooking with native plants, permaculture and more.

For more information, visit OrganicFarm.msu.edu and OrganicValley.coop.
