The Organic Research Center comprises two distinct farm locations in Clemson: 6 acres of USDA-certified organic fields south of Perimeter Rd at the Calhoun Fields Laboratory in the Seneca Bottoms (formerly the Student Organic Farm); and, 7 acres of transitioning-organic field space on Hopewell Rd at the Cherry Farm. Additionally, the Seneca Bottoms location has a production greenhouse, five high tunnels, and an open-air covered pavilion located adjacent to the field space. Research activities at the Center include specialty crop, breeding and genetics, weed science, entomology, soil science and crop ecophysiology projects.
