We visited when they were giving a tour. It's a small organic farm where they experiment with growing different varieties of plants to see what's hardy and also sell what they grow. Proceeds go back into running the farm, so when you buy something, you're helping them flourish - they also accept donations. Staff also help the community by participating on boards and city councils to ensure green space and agriculture aren't forgotten in city planning. They recently added garden boxes where people can grow things and they accept mulch and natural fertilizers that people drop off - you have to call first and ask permission. Staff are made up of students and professors in the agriculture department of the University and a couple of the staff have been farmers themselves. Funding comes primarily from grants.
