Clubs on Campus
- Alternative Agriculture Community
Almost every weekend, about 15-20 members of the Alternative Agriculture Community gather at Zena Farm to partake in a variety of farm-related activities. Some of the most common activities include weeding and planting the kitchen garden, harvesting, building protective fences to keep the deer out, and planting cover crops during the winter season. If not getting busily working at the farm, members generally spend their time planning for the upcoming season. Contact Amanda M. McClelland for more information. - Environmental Career and Outreach Service
The Compost Society
The Compost Society makes weekly trips out to Zena farm to deposit food waste from Willamette University and turn the existing compost piles. After this nutritious compost is generated with much care, the Alternative Agriculture Community utilizes it for their kitchen garden, which in turn provides food back to the Willamette community. Zena farm is critical in this operation because it provides a location for the removed waste, as well as the opportunity to apply the compost to practical use in the nearby gardens. For more information, contact Lea Griggs.
