Richland Student Farms
Share
Students literally get their hands dirty at the Student Farm, which is an outdoor classroom for research, demonstration and crop production. The Student Farm provides countless opportunities to explore the entrepreneurial possibilities in the sustainable agriculture and horticultural programs. However, the Student Farm is also a mechanism for learning the agribusiness side of small farm production with the student managed Horticulture Plant Sale and Richland Farmers Market.
We're Open Today!
The Richland Community College Farmers Market will be open today, Wednesday from 3:00–7:00 PM at the Michael D. Andreas Agriculture Building.
