Antioch Farm

The Antioch Farm is a working farm and learning laboratory located on Antioch College’s south campus. Started in 2011, the Farm includes a two-acre annual growing area with a 600-square foot hoop house, more than five acres of pasture for animal grazing, two acres of food forest, and a composting site. And it’s staffed mostly by Antioch students.

The Antioch College Farm utilizes ecological agriculture to provide an integrated context for liberal arts learning. The Farm allows students to experience, explore, and develop methods of sustainability through its interwoven functions as an outdoor laboratory for curricular study and a living forum where student labor connects to campus dining and recycling.
