The Outback Farm at WWU is a 5-acre farm on south campus between Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies and Buchanan Towers. Started in 1972, the Outback is a place of experimentation, learning, reflection, advocacy and agriculture. The Outback features permaculture practices and teachings and is home to community gardens, chickens, production rows, a teaching apiary, vernal pools and a delineated wetland.
The Outback is a student-driven farm with three year-long coordinator positions and a team of work/study students focused on growing food for the WWU community. All students are welcome to come and engage in ecosystem restoration, community building and food justice. Everyone has a right to know about their food - and the Outback is a place where you can explore the importance of farming for empowerment, resilience and health.
