About the Horticulture Farm

The Horticulture Farm, located at the BART Farms, is ten acres of land, eight of which are cultivated. There are also seven high tunnels. The Hort Farm supports horticulture teaching (turf grass management and organic market gardening) and research programs in Plant Sciences and Plant Pathology, Land Resources and Environmental Sciences, and Electrical Engineering.

Other farm projects include a fruit orchard, an experimental vineyard, and MSU's Honey Bee Research Site and Pollinator Garden. Over the summer, the farm hosts several MSU courses including Market Gardening, Crop Identification, Soils, and Culinary Marketing.

The Hort Farm is also home to Towne’s Harvest Garden, a three-acre diversified vegetable and educational research farm that supports a student-run, community-supported agriculture program. Towne’s Harvest Garden promotes learning about food production, the value of eating and supporting local foods, community building and individual empowerment.

Much of the research from the MAES Small Farms Program research takes place at the Horticulture Farm.
