Students working on the Farm at UWC-USA.

The farm

The farm is an experiential learning center where students connect academics with real-world sustainability. Also known as the Agroecology Research Station, the farm is located on 20 acres of riparian land near Sebastian Canyon adjoining the UWC-USA campus.

Goals of the Farm

Growing food on the farm integrates biology, physics, and chemistry while also sparking discussions on ecology, economics, and environmental responsibility. Through hands-on work, students gain a deeper understanding of food systems and the effort required to produce the food they eat.

Teach Sustainable Skills & Practices

Train students and community members in the skills and techniques needed to practice sustainable agriculture in an arid environment.

Provide a Practical & Living Classroom

Provide a place for practical, hands-on work where students can learn new skills and discover meaningful applications of their classroom learning in math, economics, and the sciences.

Inspire Management & Conservation

Stimulate innovation by challenging students to think about new and different ways to approach problems such as pest management, habitat conservation, and waste management.
