Agricultural Innovation Center at Shepherd University is Producing Solar Energy

Shepherd University’s Agricultural Innovation Center at Tabler Farm is a demonstration farm offering student education and experiences in variety of sustainable agriculture practices including innovations in small-scale agriculture and a small business incubator. In addition to its many sustainable agriculture programs, the farm hosts a 6-kilowatt solar array that offsets demand for electricity from the grid.
