Here are some of the ways you can interact with our food system:

• Join the student initiated Northland chapter of the Food Recovery Network, collecting leftover food slated for the compost bin, packing it, and delivering it to a regional food bank.
• Get a job with the garden crew managing the campus gardens—from planting, weeding, and caring for the seedlings to harvest and market.
• Work with the compost crew to gather food waste from the dining room and around campus to take to the Hulings Rice Food Center where it turns to soil which is then returned to farmers and the gardens.
• Help with packing out the garden harvest for students to enjoy on the trail during our outdoor orientation trips each August.
