  • Certified Organic / GMO-Free?

    “Are you certified organic? GMO-free?”

    We are not USDA certified organic or certified GMO-free. Our practices are tailor-made to our Farm; we like to call it “better-than-organic”. Our beef and lamb do not consume any GMO crops. Our pork and poultry eat feed containing soybean meal that is purchased from a mill. We cannot guarantee that it is GMO-free.

  • Make a gift to the Farm Program

    “How can I make a gift to the Farm Program?”

    Making a gift to the Farm program is easy and means the world to us. For a general gift to the Farm, please visit the College’s giving page. Under “Designation”, select Farm from the drop-down menu. If you are interested in sponsoring specific equipment and infrastructure purchases, please contact farm@warren-wilson.edu for a current list of our needs.

  • Hire a student or grad

    “How can I hire one of your current students or graduates?”

    Our students have reputations as exceptional workers. To post a job listing, please email farm@warren-wilson.edu and provide a detailed description of the position. If you have a poster or flier made up, attach that to the email. We will forward to students we think would fit, post it on our jobs bulletin board, and pass it along to our Career Services department.

  • Our location

    “Where is the College Farm located?”

    We’re located at 701 Warren Wilson Rd in Swannanoa, North Carolina. The Farm is on the Service Road, the entrance to campus directly across from Riceville Road. The Farm Office is located at the end of that road. If you hit gravel, you went too far! We are the cluster of red buildings down by the facilities building, and the office is the one with a garage door.

  • Visiting the Farm

    “Can I bring family, guests, and/or children to look at the animals on your farm?”

    Yes, we love that people want to come and visit the farm! It’s important to us that you park in designated parking spots and that you remember we’re a real farm, not a petting zoo. The animals may be dangerous and you may not go in any of the pens, fields, or pastures when they have animals occupying them.

  • School groups

    “Can I bring my school group to have a tour of the farm?”

    Yes, during certain times of the year we can give tours to school groups.  Please plan tours at least two weeks in advance. Tours may be led by a Farm manager, or by a qualified student, depending on your needs.
