Forensic Anthropology Research Farm continues to provide necessary knowledge to wide group of organizations

This is the third in a multi-part series this week featuring our staff’s favorite stories from the year. We hope you enjoy this look back on 2023.

The Forensic Anthropology Research Farm at the Freeman Ranch, commonly known as the 'body farm,' is somewhat of a local mystery, and community members are dying to know what goes on there — pun fully intended. The research done on decomposing bodies and bones has assisted in solving crimes in many ways, but that is not all that goes on at the farm; law enforcement and firefighter training is also conducted at the FARF.
