The George Jones Farm and Nature Preserve is a 70 acre farmstead owned by Oberlin College and operated by the New Agrarian Center (NAC) as a cooperative farm incubator and educational center. The farm combines production areas for vegetables, fruits, composting, and free-range livestock with efforts to restore natural habitat. We approach the farm from an ecosystem perspective, working to restore topsoil, wetlands, forests, and meadows to create a truly sustainable food web that feeds people as well as wild plants and animals.
