Farm, Food, and Health FIG #3 12/13/2023

Members in attendance: Shannon, Alona, Alan

This meeting was an open lab for folks to come in and view the hydroponics lab, ask questions, and discuss ways that the lab might be used in potential courses. As it was a busy time and many folks could not attend, please be aware that we will be hosting another open house session in April 2024 for FIG members to visit the hydroponics lab as well as the newly renovated farm.

If you are interested in a class bed to grow for spring 2024, class tour or activity, please contact Emily Agosti or Dr. Caravello directly and we will send you the link.

See you all in the spring!
