The Farm is a 1.2 acre working farm in the southeast corner of the 91°µÍø campus. The West Farm (west of the hammer throw field) is home to the Earth Dome, our chickens, native plant garden, composting system and a number of lush fruit trees. The East Farm (east of the field) has a second fruit tree orchard, over 50 beds of crops, and a greenhouse.
The Farm’s mission is to give students, faculty, and staff of The Claremont Colleges a hands-on education in various methods of small-scale ecological farming in scientific, social, and organizational terms. The Farm strives to be a trans-disciplinary space supporting the academic and non-academic values of a liberal arts education.
