Denison's partners with Bon Appetit, its diving provider in working towards a local and responsibly-sourced dining program. Bon Appetit's Farm-to-Fork program through Bon Appetit (see weblink in this credit section for more details) requires that local food is sourced from within 150 miles of Denison University, from small, family owned farms making under $5 million a year. Value added products, with Bon Appetit's Locally Crafted program, must meet of 2 qualifying criterion in order to count as local, including have at least 50% of ingredients meet its local food criteria, be woman or minority owned, provide work opportunities for a disadvantaged population as part to of their mission, be a traditional or artisan food, or have at least 50% of their ingredients certified as humane, fair trade, or organic by a third party organization. Coffee is included in the local spend because it is sourced from a local roaster and is all Fair Trade and Rain Forest certified. In all, Denison's sources 39% of its food under the Farm-to-Fork program. Responsibly-sourced products that do not fall within the local Farm-to-Fork criterion but are included in our reporting are fairly traded items and third party verified items such as: bananas, tea, chocolate, and sea food (sea food watch verified). These additional items account for 2% of our food spend. Denison is Bon Appetit's highest Farm-to-Fork account and is making strides to move to 70% local and responsibly-sourced. Just this spring we piloted a local soda, Rambling House Soda and purchased a specially-designed soda dispenser with built in refrigeration that allows the soda to be free of preservatives. Our plan is to replace coke and pepsi at all of our dining facilities. We also worked with a local Amish mill to develop local and organic cereals which are being received well on campus and may replace traditional branded cereals.

Denison Student Interns, under the direction and supervision of a Denison Dining Sustainability employee, review invoices weekly to determine and track responsible spend. Bon Appetit's Farm To Fork and Locally Crafted spend is tracked by chefs coding invoices on arrival and reported back to us 2 months later as well.

We chose Bon Appetit as our Dining Provider by intention. Their core values match the direction Denison wants to go with Local Foods. Our partnership with Bon Appetit is strong and we pay more for their services that we did with our previous provider.
