Seeds@City Urban Farm
Seeds@City Urban Farm is the outdoor laboratory classroom for the Sustainable Urban Agriculture program. Agriculture courses at City College spend time applying theoretical skills learned
in the classroom to real-world scenarios at the farm classroom sites.
The farm is comprised of 4 different campus locations - totalling 1 acre of growing space. The sites include:
- The Main Farm Site (near the Saville Theater)
- The Orchard Site (behind the Harry West Gym)
- The "S" Beds (in front of the S building)
- Rooftop Greenhouse (T-building)
The farm offers students and campus community members the opportunity to learn about sustainable food production in a hands-on, community-oriented environment.
