Getting Involved

Volunteering @ the Farm
If you want to volunteer at the Farm, join us Friday and Saturday afternoons (12:00-4:00), through December 15. These are open volunteer hours- so grab a friend and head to the IU Campus Farm. If you need to fulfill service learning hours- consider the Farm as your volunteer location. Email adiersin@iu.edu with queries.
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 iufarm@indiana.edu if you are interested in the Student Farm Advisory Team.
