LaFarm is a sustainability initiative at the College and the cornerstone of the Lafayette College Sustainable Food Loop. LaFarm is a three-acre working farm and community garden focused on diversified vegetables and flowers located at the Metzgar Field Athletic complex in Forks Township.

LaFarm provides healthy food to campus and the community, fosters multidisciplinary student engagement through classroom participation, enables academic research, and offers volunteer opportunities.

The Lafayette Food and Farm Cooperative (LaFFCo) aims to help Lafayette College students develop a sense of ecological citizenship through direct action involving food and agriculture in the Lafayette and Easton community, taking advantage of Lafayette’s multifaceted food network, and working with the actors in that network, while focusing on the importance of all the steps of the food cycle.
