Agriculture & Natural Resources

Welcome

Are you interested in animals? In growing things? Organic or sustainable environments? Do you have a passion for science but want to work outdoors? Do you want to know more than just how to groom your dog, or saddle your horse, graft your avocado tree or prepare a flower arrangement? If so, then Pierce College's Agriculture Department has something for you.

Pierce College sits on 420 acres of rolling hills and flat land. 200 acres is devoted to teaching agriculture. Many students come to the farm for jogging, waking the hills, or just being closer to nature. The farm includes a 15 acre nature center used in both our agriculture and life science department courses.

Pierce College's hands-on approach to teaching agriculture provides industry preparation and transfer readiness to the four year university and beyond.
