Sola Gratia Farm is a community-based farm dedicated to producing locally-grown, high-quality, natural produce. Responding to the Gospel, the farm is committed to helping those who lack adequate food resources by donating a minimum of ten percent of its produce to support regional hunger programs. The farm promotes healthy lifestyles and community building through volunteering and service, special events and outreach and education programs
The farm is located just south of the Urbana Meijer, and students can get there by taking an MTD bus from the Illini Union which will drop you off at the exact spot of the farm!

A weekend workday is a great opportunity to volunteer for those with especially busy schedules, as they’re outside of the workweek for just 2 hours. You’ll get to work with a group of 12-15 other volunteers to knock out some of our big on-farm projects, like onion planting, mulching, or cleaning up an area of the farm. This volunteer opportunity is open to everyone. For more information about the farm: https://www.solagratiacsa.com/
