A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:

KU Dining Services, in partnership with their primary food service vendor, makes the majority of these purchases from Good Natured Family Farms, a Mennonite family farming coop community that utilizes no electrical power or machinery in its food planting, production, processing, and distribution, and and uses rain water filtering systems. Other products purchased include locally grown, produced, and/or processed items; cage free; marine stewardship; fair & direct trade; certified organic;and hormone free.
