The OSU Organic Growers Club is an all-volunteer, student-run, organic farming project that began in 2000. The group was founded by a handful of undergraduate students on the radical notion that folks getting a degree in agriculture science should at some point in there academic careers, put a seed in the ground, take care of it, and harvest the benefits of that effort. Since then, the group and the farm have grown into much more than a ideological reaction and more toward a forward thinking community of students, staff, and faculty that have a common interest in food, fun, and above all experiencing the reality that is ecosystem sustenance.The OSU Organic Growers Club farm is located on about 2 acres of OSU agricultural research land. On the farm the club grow a bunch of different veggies and fruit, the bulk of which are sold to the on-campus community. Proceeds from the club's veggie sales go directly back into farm operations, fund summer internships, and are used to support many philanthropic activities in the Corvallis area.
The club meets every Thursday at 4:30 until dark during the spring, summer and fall terms. Hot supper is served around 7:00. During winter term the club meets on Sunday mornings from 9:00-noon for Sunday Skool. Other events include the Annual Hoo Haa and Earth Day Celebration held on Arpril 22nd (EARTH DAY!!) of each year.
