Open Petal Farm at Johnson County Community College was started on two campus acres in 2010 to provide a learning lab for students in the Sustainable Agriculture program. It has since grown to 3 acres and added a mixed fruit orchard, 300 blueberry bushes, a student-designed edible forest, a moveable high tunnel, a solar storage shed, a CoolBot refrigerated trailer, and numerous other projects. Produce is sold through Rolling Prairie CSA and an on-campus farmers market.
