Mission Statement

To foster an increased awareness of the local and global interconnections associated with food production and consumption by directly linking the Mount Holyoke College Community to the Garden through academics, the campus dining experience, and student volunteer work. The Mount Holyoke Student Garden will also build connections and share knowledge with the agricultural community of the Pioneer Valley, thereby strengthening Mount Holyoke's relationship to the local environment.

Food, Politics, and Social Change


Anna Lappe came to our campus on September 26th to deliver a speech entitled The Power of the Plate. Nearly 300 people from MHC and the Five College area came to hear Anna. Sarah, Morgan, Guenther, and I got the opportunity to meet her before she spoke to the rest of the MHC Community at the Odyssey and we spoke to her about our garden. She seemed really down to Earth and we were so happy to have her at Mount Holyoke.
