Our mission is to engage the campus community in ecologically sound and just food systems through garden-based experience, education, and research.
About
The Edible Campus Gardens are a great example of using the campus as a living, learning laboratory. The gardens are a public space open to classes, students and volunteers. We use an ecological, holistic, and beyond-organic approach to gardening. Our produce is sold at the University of Utah Farmer’s Market and campus restaurants, donated to the FeedU Pantry, and exchanged with volunteers. The gardens were established in 1996 by biology professor, Dr. Fred Montague, and have been growing ever since. Discover more about the gardens, volunteer opportunities, academic applications, and ways to stay connected.
