The College Farm is an eighty-acre, USDA-certified organic farm and a living laboratory where students can gain distinctive, hands-on learning experiences. Student employees, graduate apprentices and volunteers are involved in all aspects of food production and research. The farm serves as a venue for the Dickinson community and its neighbors to experience a holistic approach to land stewardship rooted in management practices that work to sustain the natural environment. Enjoy our fresh produce by joining our CSA! Our harvest season runs from May 18th until November 24th with over 80 distinct varieties of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Options: Spring Share – starting the week of May 18 to the week of June 8, four weeks of a curated produce box, available in large or small sizes, with weekly or bi-weekly pickup options. Main Season Share – starting the week of June 15 to November 24, a customized produce box, available in large or small sizes, with weekly or bi-weekly pickup options. Select your pickup location at the College Farm or Kaufman Hall on Dickinson’s campus. Plus, you can add out humanely raised on pasture without antibiotics or hormones beef products to weekly CSA orders.

Dickinson values sustainability and encourages students to consider the following options during Dickinson's Green Move Out to maximize reuse, build community, and eliminate waste destined for landfills. The Center for Sustainability Education, Residence Life and Housing and partners from across the campus and community have come together to provide endless options for the reuse of your unwanted items.

Please explore this list of recommendations and share information with others. Plan ahead to find the best next home for your unwanted items:

Sell, Giveaway or Trade Items Yourself: Use DsonMarket, Dickinson’s online marketplace (www.dickinson.edu/dsonmarket), to make money, keep your items in the Dickinson community and help others. This is a safe, inclusive place to sell hard to move items such as appliances, rugs, lamps, electronics, bikes, etc. that other students may want!

Store Your Items: Non-seniors should consider storage options vetted by Dickinson Residence Life and Housing. Find friends to share space with in a local storage center so that you don't need to give away and rebuy items later!

Donate to U-Turn: Donate non-perishable foods, housewares and clothing in boxes located in your residential space’s common areas from May 1-15, 2026. These items will be collected, stored and sold at the U-Turn Yard Sale on June 13, 2026. This project is coordinated by the United Way of Carlisle and Cumberland County and has provided over $25,000 in revenue annually for area non-profits for over 20 years! *Non-perishable food items are donated to Project SHARE, not resold.

Ask RA’s, HAM’s, Eco-Reps or residence life staff about the best options for your donations. Each building has different options.

Look for the three boxes in your building/apartment common room or laundry room starting May 1.

Clothing
Household items
Non-perishable & Unopened Food

Do Not Dump Items At Free xChange. Free xChange is run by student volunteers that are done May 1. There is no one available to manage the space after that- so please donate to U-Turn as directed above.

All recipient names for prizes and awards are due by noon, April 29. Return completed forms via email (kosinukk@dickinson.edu), campus mail or to Katherine Kosinuk in the Registrar’s office.

Join us for a celebratory toast honoring the career, contributions and accomplishments of Professor Nicoletta Marini-Maio (Italian and Film Studies) on the occasion of her retirement at the end of this academic year.
