Welcome to Seminary Hill Farm.

Our campus covers 80 acres, rising on a hillside above the banks of the Olentangy River. Seminary Hill Farm sits on a sizable portion of that land, covering open fields, hoop houses and a greenhouse that extend the planting and harvesting seasons.

The farm extends our focus on sustainability.

In MTSO's Dunn Dining Hall, cans of processed food have been replaced by a dazzling bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables harvested steps away from the kitchen door. We share meals prepared by culinary experts committed to serving nutritious food that tastes delicious and looks beautiful.

The benefits of Seminary Hill Farm reach well beyond the campus.

Too often, locally sourced produce is available disproportionately to people of means. MTSO is using its location within a major metropolitan area to reach out to partners who can help make fresh, healthful food available to those who rarely get to enjoy it. Much of this work is done through our Community Food and Wellness Initiative.

The farm gives us the means to model best practices.

Many of our students will serve churches or other organizations with unused land available for community gardening. All of them will benefit from a deeper understanding of the value and frailty of our ecosystem. They will graduate from MTSO with both an academic grounding in eco-theology and a practical sense of how sustainable living can be successfully practiced every day.

Our neighbors participate through community-supported agriculture.

Throughout the year, members of the Seminary Hill Farm CSA stop by campus to pick up their shares of freshly picked produce.
