How is Jefferson Farm & Gardens related to the University of Missouri?
Jefferson Farm & Gardens is located on 67 acres within the 1500-acre University of Missouri South Farm. The University Board of Curators approved a 50-year lease of the 67 acres in early 2006. The Jefferson Institute has partnered with various University of Missouri offices on a number of different projects and education programs during the last several years, but the Institute is a legally and financially separate organization from the University.
