Of that about 40 acres are being used to grow forage for the animals at Peckham. (15 in organic production).&nbsp; There\u2019s 25 more acres of fields protected by deer fencing and about 4 acres of unfenced land around the food center. All of these fields are for research and education in vegetable and grain production. About 4 acres are certified organic.&nbsp; There are 8 high tunnels and a heated polyhouse and well as two weather stations, one automated and the other requires daily readings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"fullwidth\">The Agronomy Farm is home to URI\u2019s teaching garden, which provides students with hands-on experience growing a wide variety of vegetables.\u00a0 Students work over the summer (typically for credit), growing food that is donated to the URI Free Farmer\u2019s Market, which provides food to students in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped
