Food and Beverage Purchasing Inventory
Required if pursuing either part of the credit:
Antioch College prioritizes direct purchases from local small farmers and organic growers. All eggs are locally sourced and are produced by cage free/free range hens. A portion of the eggs we use on campus are raised with our own chickens and ducks. This keeps packaging and transportation costs down and ensures a happy healthy life for our birds. All our whole cuts of pork and ground pork are locally raised. A large portion of the hogs used are raised outdoors in wood lots and are given plenty of room to be pigs. Sows are provided with deeply bedded pens to birth and care for their piglets. We use 100% grass fed Beef raised by Keener Walnut Grove Farm in Trotwood, OH, a beautiful 60-acre farm where cows can be cows. Honey is sourced from White Mountain Honey Farm in Xenia, OH. The hives are maintained using organic methods. We use local maple syrup and local milk. All meat chickens are raised locally by Ed Hill Family Farm and are cage free birds. Lamb used is raised on our own farm or raised locally, all using grass fed methods. All goat used is free range and raised locally. Fish used in Antioch Kitchens is raised at local farms or is caught and/or raised using sustainable methods in waters with ample regulation, oversight and environmental awareness as recommended by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s seafood watch program. Coffee is regionally (Columbus) roasted and sourced from fair trade/organic shade grown farms/co-op and single grower estates. Produce is sourced from small local producers whenever seasonally possible. At least 28% of our locally sourced seasonal produce is raised on the Antioch Farm.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The College's data and inventory in this section are from the 2015 Assessment Year of the Real Food Challenge (http://calculator.realfoodchallenge.org/institutions/185/profile).
Due to rounding, the sum of the percent of Real Food A (1%) and Real Food B (59%) listed in the calculator actually does not add to the actual percentage of Real Food served which is 61%.
Antioch Kitchens communicate regularly about food purchasing. Staff send out emails letting people know what is coming from the farm each week, purchasing information is on our website, and photos of partner farms are in the dining room.
