Dilmun Hill Student Farm
Dilmun Hill is the student-run farm that has been practicing sustainable agriculture on Cornell University's campus for more than a decade. Its mission is to provide students with opportunities for experiential learning, group collaboration and research. Throughout the year it hosts work parties where volunteers work in the fields and experience the latest in sustainable ag practices. The student managers and steering committee members collaborate with the Organic Coordinator and Faculty Advisors to provide leadership in farm operations and disseminate information through education and outreach. It also collaborates with various organizations on campus, such as MacDaniels Nut Grove (MNG). Our popular campus farm stand offers Dilmun Hill produce for sale from June through October and we supply local produce to Cornell Dining and Manndible Café in season.
