About Me

Williams Sustainable Growers
We have two gardens on Williams College campus: one in front of Parsons House (in Dodd Circle) and the other in the President's backyard. Please come explore both! Where does the food go? Anyone who helps out in the garden may harvest produce at any point, as long as you weigh and record what you take. (There's a scale and sheet of paper on the right side of the shed.) We also give a fair amount to dining services, WRAPS (Williams Recovery of All Perishable Surplus), preserve for future use, and use in conjunction with specific groups or events. Interested in getting involved? Email Williams.Growers@gmail.com to get added to the list-serv, or with specific ideas or questions.
