Conestoga Acres

Conestoga Acres (CA) is a grassroots garden collaborative between students, staff and faculty, as well as the external community. The goal is to promote a holistic approach to healthy food choices, where members of the Conestoga community share and learn about sustainable gardening and food production. We are seeking volunteers to help operate the garden, as well as to coordinate operations via the CA Committee. Gardeners need no experience, but should be prepared to get their hands dirty. Those interested in the committee need not participate in physical gardening, but it certainly helps. Conestoga Acres Committee Positions(pdf)
