UD Farm

Blue Hen Heroes

UD Farm Caroline, Nora, abbey and Hannah (L-R)

Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and staffing changes in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the UD Farm is still thriving thanks to student workers. Dedicated interns and students, including student/temporary farm manager Caroline May, helped keep the farm where it needed to be, in order provide the community supported agriculture (CSA) “Fresh to You” program to employees. Though most of the work fell to Caroline, she along with a recent graduate Summer Thomas and (at the time) the temporary farm manager, was able to maneuver and learn the big farm equipment, which, Caroline said, was the hardest hurdle. But, from March to May, these women prepped the beds, laid plastic, planted and pulled all the things together that they needed to, in order to have the farm up and running and producing amazing fresh produce.

In May and June, new interns joined in, and Caroline said she “was in awe” of all seven of them. They all  jumped in eagerly with both feet, she noted.

Since Abbey Reeves, the new farm manager, has started, she said she’s had nothing but admiration for the students who took charge and stepped in. She is now helping create the farms’ vision, purpose and mission, as well as dealing with networking and business aspects. The students are the ones who do a lot of the labor and work.   

While they aren’t technically “UD employees,” these students work hard for UD and show their Blue Hen pride by getting everything ready for you: the employees. What’s even more amazing is that they are now able to deliver UD Farm produce for donations to the Food Bank of Delaware and recently resumed donations to cancer patients at Helen F. Graham Center.

Here’s a UD shout-out to all involved:

Farm Manager: Abbey Reeves,

Lead Grower: Caroline May, master of agriculture economics student

Interns: Nora West, Zoe Bera, Noah Matheny, Kendra Cutler, Natalie Lobello, Dave Griffin and Fresh2U CSA student manager Hanna LaFleur.

The farm is working from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and employees are encouraged to stop by and visit anytime to check out what the farm has to offer and to see the growing practices. Follow on  Facebook at UD Fresh to You, or visit the website.
