Then head to Tree House Brewing Company Deerfield for an evening of live music.

One of the things that makes The Silo so special is being adjacent to the UMass Student Farm. Our guests get a front-row seat to the changing seasons, beautiful sunsets, and one of UMass’s most inspiring hands-on learning experiences. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! 🌱

From a quarter-acre of kale to a 20-acre student-run enterprise, the UMass Student Farm is a powerful example of learning by doing.

Founded by Amanda Brown ’00 AS, ’02, ’08 MEd and Ruth Hazzard ’89, the program gives students hands-on experience managing a real farm that supplies produce to UMass Dining, Big Y, and local CSA members.
