Augie Acres

Augie Acres (formerly known as the Augustana Local Agriculture Society) contributes local organically grown food to the college and community by cultivating diverse varieties on their campus student-run garden. The club seeks to educate members on gardening practices and food-related issues, and promotes ecological citizenship, experimental thinking and community through weekly garden workdays and meetings.
