Contrary to its name, this is not a place where bodies are grown for food. And while that may come as a relief, the truth is almost as creepy. Body farms are where anthropologists and forensic scientists study how corpses decompose under a variety of different circumstances. This particular body farm is located on a secure, 2.5-acre lot where up to 100 corpses can be found rotting out in the open at any given time. The understanding they gain from this disturbing practice can help crime scene investigators get better insights from actual murder cases, based on things like rate of decomposition and insect activity in and on the body.

If that seems disrespectful, it’s not. The bodies used come from people who’ve donated themselves to science, or were donated by family members. (If my family’s reading this, keep in mind, I will haunt you forever, if you lay me to rest here in this frightful, outdoor death garden).
