Monocacy Farm Project Slideshow

Two dozen students and faculty traveled a few miles north of campus to the Monocacy Farm Project.

The non-profit organization, which is owned and managed by the School Sisters of St. Francis, supplies low-income families, local shelters, and food pantries with organic produce it grows on a 53-acre spread that borders the Monocacy Creek.

Under a bright sky, Moravian students and faculty weeded plant beds, picked produce, and hauled compost — under the direction of farmer Eli Stogsdill, who educated Moravian’s volunteers on the value of organic farming and responsible stewardship in their own community.
