Good Earth Student Farm is a student-run organization where students, faculty, staff, and local community members grow produce to aid in reducing food insecurity at Iowa State. Our harvest is shared with the S.H.O.P. food pantry on campus, after participating members take their workshare home. In the last three years (2022-2024), Good Earth has donated nearly 10,000 lbs. of fresh produce to the S.H.O.P.!
