Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP)

The Rutgers Gardens Student Farm has utilized organic growing methods since its inception. Follow our journey as we become Certified Organic!

As a partner of the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Regional Partnership for Organic Transition, the Rutgers Gardens Student Farm (RGSF) hosts a series of workshops and educational events to support transitioning and existing organic producers. These events are free and open to the public! Subscribe to the Rutgers Gardens Student Farm e-newsletters here, and follow the farm’s Instagram account @rutgersstudentfarm to learn when our next event will be.
