The Bard Farm

The 1.25-acre Bard College Farm was established in 2012 with a mission to create a lasting connection between students, farming, and food. More than 245 students have worked at the farm and hundreds more have volunteered to help produce more than 222,000 pounds of crops, which are sold to the College dining service and at a weekly farm stand on campus, and donated to local emergency food programs. The farm also works with the campus food pantry to provide produce vouchers to food-insecure students.
