Local Agriculture Society (Augie Acres)

The Augustana Local Agriculture Society contributes local organically grown food to the college and community by cultivating diverse varieties on Augie Acres, a student-run, urban farm. The club seeks to educate members on gardening practices and food-related issues, and promotes ecological citizenship, experimental thinking and community through weekly garden workdays and meetings.
