Welcome to the 2026 Campus Farmer Summit Sponsorship Page
About: The 2026 Campus Farmer Summit will bring together farm educators from the US and abroad, to celebrate the rich tapestry of agricultural education and the unique attributes that define this community of practitioners. This gathering will showcase the vital role of campus farms and growing spaces, while exploring strategies to help programs adapt and remain resilient within the evolving landscape of educational institutions.
Anticipated participants: The 2026 Campus Farmer Summit brings together campus farm managers, educators, program directors, student farmers, food service professionals, activists, and others working to strengthen campus food systems. The primary audience includes campus farm educators from colleges, universities, and boarding schools that operate working farms and gardens. We hope to have around 300 participants at this event.
Outcomes: Participants will leave the Summit connected to a broader campus farm community, equipped with the relationships, tools, and resources needed to support long-term program sustainability. Knowledge gained through networking and workshops that support the sharing of ideas will provide participants will practical skills to enhance student experiences and identify how their programming fits into the larger mission of their institution.
Why Sponsor?
