We believe that when people with diverse backgrounds and skills come together around the table (and on the farm!), innovation and creative problem-solving occurs.

The Student Farm is a living laboratory and classroom, and like any classroom space, it is open to our entire campus community. The farm can accommodate visitors arriving by bus, van, personal vehicle, bicycle, or on foot.

Group visits and volunteering opportunities usually last between an hour and two hours; however, we can be flexible to meet the needs of your group. We would love to have you and your group out to the farm for a tour! Please fill out the following form so that we can start to plan your trip to the farm.

We typically need at least five business days of advance notice to coordinate staff support for tour and volunteer groups.

The Farm accepts volunteers between April 1 and November 1 each growing season. Greenhouse volunteer opportunities may begin earlier than April 1. Check the calendar below to locate available times.

Directions for how to reach the farm, as well as parking guidelines, can be found at: https://www.studentfarm.psu.edu/find-the-farm/.
