HaverFarm is the name for both the student-run club and the plots of land where food is grown: one behind HCA’s apartment 19, a smaller one behind HCA 22, and the third, larger space behind the facilities and maintenance building. It was born out of an environmental studies senior capstone class project in 2013, and, since then, has grown to include the construction of a new greenhouse and the hiring of an inaugural farm fellow.
Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
As you perform real-world research and immerse yourself in hands-on learning, you'll work side-by-side with professors who are at the top of their fields.
Our mascot—the Black Squirrel—has a genetic adaptation that gives it a bold, black coat. Join our distinctive community and stand out from the pack with your fellow Haverfordians.
