The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) Governing Council, with some help from Slow Food Rutgers, worked hard to bring a Farmer’s Market to campus throughout the month of October. The students’ response was so positive that the market was extended until November 8.
Every Thursday, students were able to buy fresh, seasonal, and locally grown produce right in the heart of the Cook and Douglass campuses, on the grassy site behind the book store and across from the Cabaret Theater bus stop on Nichol Avenue.
The SEBS Governing Council had worked for some time to bring fresh produce to campus and, with the help of the weekly vendor, Pop’s Farm Market at the New Brunswick Community Farmer’s Market, students and other members of the Cook and Douglass campus communities took advantage of the convenient location to get Jersey Fresh produce on their “doorstep.”
