FEAST ORGANIC GARDEN
FEAST (Food, Energy and Sustainability Team) is an Occidental student
service dedicated to enjoying, studying, and discussing the connection between
our food and the environment.
History
In the spring of 2009, a group of students petitioned the administration for a
site on Occidental’s campus to start a student-run organic garden. With an
incredible amount of hard work and the unending guidance of Bruce Steele and
Mark Vallianatos and many others, we built our first compost pile using
pre-consumer food scraps from the Marketplace, clippings from facilities and
straw on March 15th, 2009. Compost operations continued for the remainder of the
semester and that summer, a group of students put in raised beds, broke ground
and began planting. The first harvest came in August as patty-pan squash, peas,
chard and kale ripened.
For all the most recent updates, like FEAST on Facebook!

Contact feast@oxy.edu to join our mailing list. You'll be the first to hear
about the garden's workshops and events, held multiple times each month!
