What is the Garden City Harvest EVST/PEAS Farm?
The Program in Ecological Agriculture and Society (PEAS) was created in 1996, and is run on a 9 1/2 acre farm in Missoula’s Rattlesnake Valley. The PEAS Farm is run through a partnership between the University of Montana Environmental Studies Program and Garden City Harvest (GCH), a nonprofit organization in Missoula. Since 1996, the farm has grown more than 100,000 lbs of healthy produce for the Missoula Food Bank. The farm is run in accordance with organic standards and with sustainability and educational opportunities for ecologically conscious food production as a goal.
