Archie guiding Stanford's increase of campus farmland
The new O'Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm will grow a diverse crop of vegetables, flowers, fruit trees and specialty plants to teach students and the public about sustainable farming. The farm will work with other campus programs and plans to distribute some of the food, said Patrick Archie, director of the Stanford Educational Farm Program in the School of Earth Sciences.
"Students for more than 12 years have wanted the farm," Archie said. Pamela Matson, dean of the School of Earth Sciences, has been instrumental in getting the farm approved by university officials, he added.
