- Would you like to live in a vibrant community of students working together to take action in the climate crisis?
Then UConn's Spring Valley Student Farm (SVSF) is the place for you this summer!
Discover how you can mitigate climate change and build equitable food systems by engaging with regenerative local food production.
Spring Valley Student Farm, located 4.5 miles off the Storrs campus, is now accepting applications for summer 2022 paid employment and unpaid summer student housing.
Applications for summer employment are now open. Positions are 20 hours per week and run from May through August. Summer farmers are integral members of our production team, and participate in all aspects of growing and harvesting vegetables sustainably.
Students may also apply to live at SVSF throughout the summer. Residents at SVSF contribute 10 hours of farm work each week in exchange for a reduced housing cost.
Both positions are open to all UConn undergraduate students who are enrolled in summer classes or enrolled in classes full-time for fall 2022.
