On campus farms have been a valuable asset to several institutions in the nation providing a novel educational experience for those students interested in production and consumption of food. In this study we investigated the feasibility of an on campus farm for WPI. We looked into several options for creating such a farm considering all aspects of implementation including technical aspects such as land and infrastructure as well as the educational and institutional benefits for WPI. This report represents a clarified view of our findings for future inquiry and development.
