West Campus Growing Project
About the Farm
The West Campus Growing Project is a 17-acre plot of land and leased for $1.00 per year (Thanks, Jerry!) out in Yadkinville, NC. On this land, we grow tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, herbs, and many other vegetables to send out to the community.
The West Campus Growing Project is meant to provide a high-volume, year-round supply line of various fruits & vegetables and increase the nutritional value of the food we send out to folks in the community. It also provides for educational endeavors, revenue-generating opportunities, and capacity to engage more with our healthcare partners.
Our Goals
Year-round, consistent supply of food that is built around our high volume needs
Educational opportunities for children and young people interested in agriculture and food production
Opportunities to create jobs and offer internships
Adding more food into the local/regional food system provides for greater overall resiliency of the food supply chain
Capacity to engage more with healthcare partners
