Sweet Briar College challenges and inspires women, forging ethical leaders with the skill, compassion, and vision to create a more just and sustainable world. In 2019, as part of our focus on sustainability and agricultural enterprises, we planted grapes on our beautiful campus, situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Amherst County. We are excited to share our wines with you, along with produce grown by our students in our 26,000 square foot greenhouse and honey from bees tended by our students in our 20-hive apiary. Our agricultural areas serve as important learning resources for our students, especially those in our Leadership in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems program.
