Cornercopia Student Organic Farm

Tucked into the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota, Cornercopia Student Organic Farm is a hands-on learning laboratory and a source of exceptionally fresh, organically grown food. Run by students with a passion for sustainable agriculture, this farm proves that a small plot in the city can yield vibrant produce while training the next generation of growers. Whether you are a committed locavore or simply curious about where your food comes from, Cornercopia offers a welcoming glimpse of urban farming in action. From spring through fall, the team cultivates a diverse mix of seasonal herbs and vegetables, harvesting everything from fragrant basil and leafy greens to crisp peppers and heirloom tomatoes. The farm follows organic practices, nurturing soil health and biodiversity without relying on synthetic chemicals. That care shows in the flavor: produce is picked at peak freshness and often finds its way directly to campus markets, CSA shares, and local customers. More than a market garden, Cornercopia is a community hub where students and visitors can connect with the land and learn about sustainable food systems. Stop by to see the beds in full bloom, take part in a farm event, or simply stock up on produce grown by the people studying it. It is a true St. Paul hidden gem for anyone who values fresh, local, and responsibly grown food.
