GCUOF Guided Tour
Overview:
On July 25, 2024, Mike Smith, GCUOF Farm Coordinator, gave a guided tour of the Guelph Centre for Urban Organic Farm (GCUOF).
The GCUOF is a demonstration urban organic farm that specialized in small scale organic agriculture. The tour highlighted the project and give all the opportunity to see about 2 acres of diversified crops, surrounded by the Arboretum. UofG students grow a wide range of certified organic crops that are distributed on campus via Hospitality Services, a Sliding Scale Market in the fall, and through the CSA Food Bank. In short, the Centre teaches students to grow food that is then consumed by students right here on campus.
