The Farm at Davidson

The College Farm supplies fresh, local produce to Davidson's Dining Hall and Catering operations.

The farm is comprised of 3 acres of field space on Grey Road, about a mile off of Davidson's main campus. It was founded in 2012 as a part of Davidson's sustainability mission.

The farm is an interdisciplinary space for research, teaching, events, and service. To schedule a visit, please contact Halle Murphy, Farm Manager, at hamurphy@davidson.edu.

Sustainable Agriculture

The farm uses organic practices as well as integrated pest management in vegetable production. This involves using exclusively organic-certified inputs, planting cover crops to promote soil health, and timing applications strategically to minimize negative environmental impact.
