FAMU Cooperative Extension Program
The FAMU Research and Extension Center, also known as “The
FAMU Farm” has begun expansion near the 4-H Pavilion and Lake Fredrick. Thanks
to the Renewable Resources Extension Act (RREA) Project under the leadership
of Dr. Lawrence Carter, FAMU Extension Director of Outreach Activities, the expansion
includes a nature trail and space for recreational activities.
The FAMU Research and Extension Center is located in the
city of Quincy, Florida, which is in the North Florida District of Gadsden
County near the Florida-Georgia State line. The center consists of over 260
acres of farmland, pines, lakes and animal research labs. “The FAMU Farm” is
operated by the College of Agriculture and Food Sciences (CAFS) Cooperative
Extension Program, wherein the Veterinary Technology Program and Small Ruminant
Program are also housed.
