Sustainable Agriculture Farm

The College of the Redwoods' Certified Organic Farm in Shively is here to teach progressive agricultural practices in plant science, animal science, and agribusiness through hands-on learning. During lab hours, just 40 minutes from campus, students work with the sheep, goats and chickens, drive tractors, learn irrigation and pest control techniques and grow produce for farmers markets. For students who wish to spend more time on the farm or in the greenhouse, internships are available through the Cooperative Work Experience program.

The school year is a very busy time at the farm, with community events, field trips and family-friendly outings. If you would like to visit, please call ahead at (707) 599-1338 to schedule a day and time.
