A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
The University Executive Chef has developed relationships with our Academic Agricultural Department, the OSU Meat Lab, the Ohio Department of Agriculture and Agricultural Extension Service, the Ohio Produce Growers and Marketing Association (OPGMA) and Waterman Student Farm. With the help of our Purchasing department, we have established portals to our purchasing process for local products, and we utilize our Prime Distribution Vendor for the logistical connection with local producers and farmers.
We have programmatically incorporate seasonal recipes and menus to take advantage of our Ohio farm products. For day-to-day ordering by our units, local products are denoted with a unique icon in the sales inventory.
