UGArden 2023 Summer Associate - UGA
 
 
 
UGArden is a student-run community and campus farm located near the main University of Georgia campus in Athens, GA. Student volunteers help manage and provide the primary labor to grow ~4 acres of vegetables, fruits, shiitake mushrooms and herbs using organic practices. UGArden aims to build a community of students centered on a sustainable food system. The goals of UGArden are: 1) to teach students to grow food using organic practices; 2) to share healthy, sustainably grown food with members of the local community, particularly those in poverty; 3) to engage students in the local community through service-learning; and 4) to provide opportunities for students to learn practical skills and experiment with new ideas. Much of the produce grown at UGArden is distributed to families in need in the Athens area through programs such as UGA’s Campus Kitchen, the Athens Community Council on Aging, the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and UGA’s on-campus food pantry. Two Summer Associates will help support UGArden summer programming.
