The UT Micro Farm will be the first student-run sustainable farm on UT’s forty acres! We have the land, now we just need you and your ambitions!

This project is thoroughly interdisciplinary. Whatever it is you are passionate about or skilled in, there’s a way for you to get involved. Let’s put our diversity of interests together to grow food that we can all enjoy!

The UT Micro Farm endeavor will require the efforts of several student-operated “micro-projects.” There is ample opportunity for you to become directly involved in whatever it is that fascinates you:

Engineering and designing a rainwater collection & shading structure
Tending to an APIARY (beekeeping)
Compost management
Blogging
Graphic design & photo/video media
Hunting for donations & discounts
Wicking beds
Planning social events and workshops
Developing educational materials
Managing an on-campus farm stand

The UT Micro Farm is a place to experiment and to learn. Imagine the possibilities…and if you’ve got some of your own imaginings, please share your ideas!
