VSU College of Agriculture Field Day
Thursday, September 1 • 8:30 AM–12:30 PM
Virginia State University’s Randolph Farm, 4415 River Road, Petersburg, VA, 23803
This free event will showcase the many ways VSU’s agricultural researchers, Extension specialists and professors support Virginia’s agriculture and forestry industries, the commonwealth’s number one private economic driver, with an annual economic impact of more than $91 billion.
Hop on and off trollies as they circle throughout Randolph Farm’s 416 acres and learn from the commonwealth’s leading experts about the latest techniques, trends, research and success stories impacting small-scale, limited-resource farmers and ranchers.
See first-hand how VSU’s research, teaching and public programming is enhancing the resiliency of Virginia’s food systems and addressing food safety and insecurity, especially among those who have limited social and economic resources.
Learn how you, your family, your business and your community can benefit from the food and agri-science programs at VSU.
