When this subject came up last year I suggested that someone might want to start a list on one of the group list servers. That discussion evolved into a spirited discussion of on-line advertising, and the college farm idea was lost for the moment. Thank you for re-posting it. We have just started a new college farm group, and invite interested persons to subscribe at collegefarm-subscribe@egroups.com The URL is http://www.egroups.com/group/collegefarm. The list is for students, faculty and others who are interested in on-campus or near-campus sustainable, alternative and educational farming and gardening projects. Special emphasis on student-run farms, but also including mentored research and demonstration projects. This will be an excellent forum in which to discuss internships and apprenticeships, academic credits potential, faculty and student positions, students seeking admission to special programs, special programs seeking students, and anything and everything to do with college level farming and gardening. Anyone who is interested please sign on and introduce yourself with your special interests and activities. Be polite and respectful, limit your posts to a reasonable length, don't harangue or flame, and no advertising without asking the group first.
