Located on the north side of campus, east of the Toronto Pan-Am Sports Centre, and beyond the Morningside Athletic Fields, is the U of T Scarborough Campus Farm. The 10-acre, brownfield site is dedicated to teaching, research, and community engagement on campus.
With 5-acres devoted specifically to develop teaching and community engagement, the farm will provide learning activities (e.g. lectures, seminars, tutorials and hands-on workshops), summer camp, and guided tours during the growing seasons. The Teaching Farm includes 30 raised planting beds, an Indigenous garden, and a small orchard which have been used successfully to grow various edible crops, medicine, fruits, nuts, and flowers.
The other 5-acres are devoted to research and provide U of T Scarborough faculty and their students an opportunity to carry out research studies. Each research plot is 5 meters x 5 meters.
