Join us for a premiere conference on beginning, improving, and utilizing farms and gardens in undergraduate liberal arts education. From creating compost to developing new courses, learn how to cultivate opportunities for local, sustainable food integration across your curriculum, campus and community. Includes skills workshops and tours at the Dickinson College Farm, presentations, discussions and exhibits that feature faculty, students, farmers and staff from many different colleges that are using farms and gardens in their education programs.

The conference is organized around four tracks, each of which will have multiple sessions, including hands-on workshops, presentations, panels, and opportunities for student posters.

For more information on the tracks in particular and the conference in general (including registration), go to Dickinson College's site for the conference. Note that the registration process offers a discount to PERC Member Schools.
