The University Farm & Field Station in Hunting Valley is:
- A Field Station that hosts for credit classes, funded research, and co-curricular programs
- A working farm that produces fruits and vegetables for campus dining halls, local restaurants, and farm stands
- An event center with several facilities that can host 10-110 people
- CWRU’s Cross Country team course
The 400-acre property is primarily from two gifts, the Squire Valleevue Farm from the Andrew Squire estate and Valley Ridge Farm from the Wade Family.
The University Farm & Field Station has forests, ravines, waterfalls, meadows, ponds, a self-contained natural watershed, and several buildings and spaces designed for education, research, and recreation.
Although the University Farm & Field Station is primarily for use by CWRU faculty, staff, students, and alumni, we welcome the entire community to safely enjoy the property‘s outdoor trailsduring our seasonal hours.
