Abstract
The Garden Committee works within the Office of Sustainability to manage the campus garden. Each year, the committee grows vegetables using organic and sustainable practices which are brought to market in Geneseo and Rochester during the summer and fall. The garden acts as a opportunity for students to learn sustainable horticulture that they can practice throughout there lives, and as a way to participate in community engagement at each farmers market. At the Westside Farmers Market in Rochester, the Committee works to address food justice by providing low cost fresh produce, particularly produce requested by the community as being inaccessible in the area, through a grant by a local organization.
