Fresh produce grown at Stony Brook Southampton’s FoodLab Farm is being offered every Friday at the campus’s Farmer’s Market Fridays. The market takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Library lobby during September and October.
The FoodLab Farm, located on the Southampton campus, supplies all the produce for the market. The farm operates less than a mile from where its goods are sold, emphasizing local sourcing and fresh options for students and staff.
A special tabling event highlighting FoodLab’s activities is scheduled for Friday, September 12, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., also in the Library lobby. Organizers aim to inform attendees about ongoing initiatives on campus.
According to organizers, “FoodLab is more than a farm, it’s an incubator for regional food systems, driving innovation through education, hands-on learning and community partnerships. With a mission to position Stony Brook University as a global leader in food-related issues, FoodLab is working to: Meet the team, explore volunteer or academic opportunities, and discover how to become a part of the movement toward healthier people, communities, and the planet.”
