Events

Our events help you learn, have fun and build relationships with people who share similar interests.

Team Building

Our unique team-building exercise combines horticultural exploration and culinary creativity for a truly immersive experience that fosters teamwork, communication and problem-solving. Dig into gardening, cooking and eating together to build a special bond with your team.

Student Meal Prep Program

Our free meal prep program gives students the food and techniques needed to cook nutritious meals to eat later in the week. No kitchen? No problem! This program is offered in partnership with NIU's nutrition and dietetics programs and will take place in the nutrition kitchens on the third floor of Wirtz Hall.

Annual Fundraising Dinner

Our Evening With Chef Bryan Fundraising Event takes place each fall, with proceeds split between the Huskie Food Pantry and Edible Campus. Highlights of the evening include a menu featuring produce from our Edible Campus gardens.

Food Preservation Workshops

Food preservation lets you eat locally grown food all year round – and it might be easier than you think! Our food preservation workshops offer hands-on experience with water-bath canning, freezing and other food preservation methods, using fresh produce from our Edible Campus gardens.
