People Endorsing Agrarian Sustainability (PEAS)
People Endorsing Agrarian Sustainability (PEAS) is a student-run organization that works to further agrarian sustainability by working with the local community. PEAS focuses on the use of locally produced food and getting students involved in regional farms through visiting and volunteering.
Peas is committed to providing Kenyon students with awareness about the importance of sustainable and local farming in Knox county and in general. We work to bring as much local food to Kenyon as possible, through Knox county farm contacts.
