This move necessitated the construction of a poultry farm, stables, greenhouses, storage barns, and a model dairy barn. By the 1950s, the farming operation was no longer economically viable; all of the cows were sold, and the Vassar Farm stopped producing its own vegetables and milk products. A little more than 50 years later, the model dairy wing of that barn has been renovated as event, exhibit, and office space which is now home to the Environmental Cooperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/Paints-from-Plans-200x150.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/environmental-cooperative\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2022\/09\/1D44596C-A562-4C2B-BBBF-71DBA7F45F8F-200x150.jpeg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The barn offers space for use by community groups, campus organizations, and other interested parties.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/4QfrEGQE2gHpxXp66\">application for use of the space<\/a> must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of a program or event.\u00a0 For more information, please read more about the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1aEY78ete3RRCoKAKbgQ0_FO_fLGrdQ44\/view?usp=sharing\">Barn rental guidelines<\/a> here.\u00a0 Questions?
