Overview
Chico State's College of Agriculture website explains that "agriculture can’t be learned solely from a textbook. That’s why our 800-acre Paul L. Byrne Agricultural Teaching and Research Center, more commonly known as the University Farm, is so important . . . [E]stablished in 1960 . . . the facility supports classes in agriculture in the same way a chemistry lab supports its discipline."
The farm teaches organic and permaculture practices to Chico State Agriculture majors as well as visiting elementary students, while the products of the farm--organic dairy, meats, vegetable, grains and fruits--are available at the farm, on campus, and in local supermarkets.
