Looking for some fresh food and a farm style atmosphere? Look no more! Cal Poly Pomona's College of Agriculture has it's own store. Their motto "Fresh Off The Cal Poly Pomona Farm," is completely true. In the store, you can purchase the school's own home grown vegetables, fruits, meats and more! Some of the most popular items purchased that were grown by the students include delicious pomegranates, tomatoes, Valencia oranges, and fresh squeezed orange juice. The link to the site is: http://www.csupomona.edu/~farmstore/
Want to get involved behind the scenes at the farm store? If you are interested in getting either an Agribusiness and Food Industry Management or Plant Science degree, you could greatly benefit from the tools and resources offered at the farm store. From outside of the typical classroom setting, you can sign up to do an enterprise project linked to the farm. This perfectly exemplifies the campuses motto, "Learn By Doing!" Through this process, you have the chance to grow food products that eventually make it to the store to sell. Not only is it cool to sell your own products you worked really hard on, but you also get a percentage of the earnings to help with your college expenses! Your project could include growing vegetables and fruits in the Cal Poly's greenhouse, fields, or facilities! Furthermore, you could even sell plants for great prices! For example, some of the plants up for sale at the store right now include several fruit trees, herbs and perennials. A complete list is here:http://www.csupomona.edu/~farmstore/nursery-plants.shtml
Either way you, the College of Ag has you covered, you are bound to succeed with the help of other students and professors.
