The Yale Farm. A not-so-hidden gem on Science Hill, the Yale Farm grows hundreds of food, fibre, dye, fuel, and floral crops ranging from staple grains to saffron crocuses, from ancient landraces to modern hybrids. The Yale Farm changes from season to season to reflect the evolving interests of the students who learn and work there. In its role as an outdoor classroom, the Yale Farm can help to enrich, clarify, deepen, and vivify in-classroom texts and discussion holding to Yale’s rigorous academic standards. In its role as a gathering place, the Yale Farm has intentionally cultivated an atmosphere of spontaneity, warmth, generosity, and inclusivity. As a result, our open work days, presentations, and pizza events are highly sought after by students, faculty, and staff. Students involved with the Yale Farm often refer to it as a sanctuary: a place where they may find reprieve from crushing expectations, a renewed sense of practical purpose in their work, and an affirmation of their belonging within a larger community.
