UTRGV Research Garden and Greenhouse
You can find our greenhouse and certified organic garden at the North East wing near the UTRGV Child Development Center. We maintain 7,500 sq. ft of land dedicated to agroecological research and teaching students how to grow their own food.
UTRGV Community Garden
"Adopt-a-Bed Day" occurs at the beginning of each season and is open to student and staff organizations to join us at the community garden for a short lesson on gardening and the chance to plant their own bed to tend for the rest of the semester. We involve the community as much a possible, ask us about our raised bed availability!
Hub of Prosperity Farm
We are proud to have the first cooperative farm in the city of Edinburg with United First Methodist Church where students conduct sustainable agriculture research and beginning farmers are provided with tools, land and utilities to make their dreams a reality. Ask us about our quart-acre plots available!

Research
We’re passionate about providing high quality, data-informed resources to help area farmers improve their economic and environmental sustainability.
Education
Our dedicated student workers learn about sustainable agriculture from start to finish. Their work is a hands-on education in irrigation systems, crop planning, soil fertility, weed suppression, harvesting, marketing, and more.
Community
We are committed to connecting, education, and growing with our community. We aim to inform community members and students of all age groups about sustainable practices, organic agriculture, and the importance and healthy and accessible food.

“To create equitable and just social systems, we have to regain control over our food. Food is power, culture, politics and identity wrapped into one.”
