Students from three Penn State campuses - Beaver, Behrend and University Park - raised a 96-foot-long high tunnel at Beaver. The tunnel will allow the campus to grow fresh produce year round to supply the CSA, campus food pantry and Salvation Army.
Students and staff from three Penn State campuses — Beaver, Behrend and University Park — raised a high tunnel at Penn State Beaver in August. The tunnel, funded by a Penn State Strategic Plan seed grant, will allow the campus to grow fresh produce year-round to supply campus-supported agriculture subscriptions and the Salvation Army.
Penn State Behrend's campus garden has become an important source of community-based education and engagement. In addition to cultivating the garden, the students host hands-on activities for young people to help pass on their knowledge about food and food systems.
A University grant is helping the Beaver campus to expand its agriculture and food-related initiatives, including a campus garden, community-supported agriculture and a 96-foot-long high tunnel.
