The Berea College Farm is one of the oldest continuously operating student educational farms in the United States. It raises a wide variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, grains, beans, mushrooms, honey, pork, beef, chicken, goat, fish and more – all produced by students gaining hands-on farming experience while working their way through college.
Much of the cropland is USDA certified organic and the Farm maintains animal-welfare certifications on several of the livestock enterprises. Your purchases at the Farm Store support sustainable agriculture education for students with strong academic potential and financial need.

Also known as Anglin Falls, it's a short hike with beautiful wildflowers and wet-weather waterfall. This is only about 20 minutes from the farm and the hike is around a mile. Not terribly strenuous and definitely worth it! Best flow is after a rainstorm, but plan for a bit of mud. DO NOT put Anglin Falls into your GPS. Use the full name to get the correct directions.
