The MUSC Urban Farm is an acre of living classroom in which staff, faculty, students, and the community can grow and learn about many varieties of vegetables, fruit, and herbs grown in South Carolina and the connection between health and food. Located on the corner of Bee and President streets, the farm hosts workshops, seminars, volunteer workdays, and tours for local schools. If you volunteer, you get to bring home some of the crops. Participants can take part in cooking and nutrition lessons and obtain direct experience in sustainable urban agriculture. Educational programs are also available for special groups like weight management patients, school children, and therapeutic service organizations. Produce is shared among participants and volunteers, and MUSC chefs are incorporating some of the produce into food served in the MUSC cafeterias. You'll be able to taste some of their crops at the RiverDogs games this season as a part of the Healthy Charleston Challenge. Donations have been made to local charities like the Lowcountry Food Bank, Charleston Area Children's Garden Project, Ronald McDonald House, and Hope Lodge.
