Farms

The College of Natural Sciences brings together 15 departments mostly from the former Colleges of Natural Resources (NRE) and the Environment and Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM).

The farms operated by NRE continue to serve the research and education needs of faculty in the agricultural sciences. They cover the broad agricultural comodities found in Massachusetts and New England and are supported by State, Federal appropriated funds and grants and grants from the private sector.
 

As a land-grant university, The University of Massachusetts, Amherst has a long history of supporting agriculture within the Commonwealth. The UMass Farms once centered at the UMass (Mass Aggie) campus have moved to outlying areas as the campus grew in size to 24,000+ students now at the flagship UMass Amherst Campus.
