Lumberjack Express

Applied Learning

One-of-a-kind learning lab on wheels

The Lumberjack Express, a mobile food laboratory, is definitely a point of pride for SFA. The big, purple academic lab provides students a transformational learning experience. It's as close to running their own food truck as it gets.
