About Seminary Hill Farm

Founded by Methodist Theological School in Ohio in December 2013, Seminary Hill Farm has grown to become the most visible component of a broad commitment to sustainability and social justice.

With fields, hoophouses and a greenhouse covering 10 acres of MTSO’s 80-acre campus, the farm provides produce for campus meals, people in need and members of our Community Supported Agriculture program. It also serves as a model and resource for local community gardens and food pantries, and it provides MTSO’s students with a practical sense of how sustainable living can be practiced every day.

Our mission: Seminary Hill Farm teaches small-scale farming and produces good food for all in pursuit of a just, sustainable and generative world.

Our vision and purpose: Seminary Hill Farm is committed to teaching and learning about local agriculture, the stewardship of land, engaging matters of environmental justice, and working toward food security and community health.
