A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
For the past several years, CAS has focused on increasing the amount of local foods served in the on-campus restaurants and cafes. We realize the economic impact that spending locally can have on the community as well as the flavor and nutritional benefits of eating local foods. Our produce is purchased from American Fruit and Vegetable, a produce distributor based out of Rochester. Working with the produce distributor, we have been able to increase the amount of local fruits and vegetables throughout campus. We also partner with Upstate Farms, a local dairy co-op, to supply all of our milk and most other dairy products as well as several other nonfarm vendors, including:
Barilla Pasta
Chobani Yogurt
The Basket Company
Vital Energy
Muesli Fusion
Zweigles Hot Dogs & Sausages
Father Sam's Wraps
Costanza's Bakery
Perry's Ice Cream
Karma Sauce
Sorrento Cheese
Rosina Meatballs
Monk's Bread (Abbey of the Genesee)
American Fruit & Vegetable
Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters
Livingston County Pizza Co. (Gluten Free Rolls)
Midstate Bakery
Upstate Farms Dairy Coop
