Student Farm Advisory Team - will act as a student portion of the farm advisory board. The intention behind this group will represent student interest as it relates to food, production, and the Farm. The team also has potential to expand into a campus farm-centered student organization as interest in the farm expands. This group's work is coordinated by the Campus Garden and Farm Intern through the IU Office of Sustainability. Please contact Kerry Ryffel (kryffel@indiana.edu) if you are interested in the Student Farm Advisory Team.
