Just Food

Just Food is a student organization with the objective of renovating the university and community food systems. Many of the group’s ideas center around the formation of a student run farm. Using organic farming practices the students wish to produce a variety of vegetable crops, as well as herbs and flowers. Students will learn about growing practices, processing and packaging, marketing, and preparation of produce that is local and sustainable. One related idea is the facilitation of a summer gardening class, attended by children in the community and taught by residents of the Clark-Lindsay Village. The farm may also be home to community gardens, a Student Farmer’s Market, the introduction of local food into the dorms, and student education on various food issues.
