The number of visitors is from June 3, 1998.
The University Farm is located about 3 km south-east of the JR Hojo Station and about 21 km north of the main campus of the College of Agriculture, Ehime University. The farm sits on the skirts of the Takanawa mountains. There are paddy and vegetable fields on the flat sites, and orchards on the slopes. Most of the soil is granitic and not so fertile. The average annual temperature is 14.5℃ and the annual precipitation about 1,200 mm. The farm is blessed with the mild climate of the Seto Inland Sea.

The mission of the University Farm is to give students practical training about agriculture; and to develop new farming systems by using recent scientific information and conventional technological knowledges; and to contribute to agriculture of local neighboring areas and worldwide developing countries.
