UNH Dining increased its local food purchasing from 16.7% in FY07-08 to 22.3% in FY08-09, totaling an additional 5.6% or $274,294.60 that remained within the region.

All UNH dining halls offer Fair Trade Certified organic coffee, an innovative, market-based approach to sustainable development. Honey is purchased from Bee Rich Apiaries of Hudson, NH. Apples are provided by UNH’s Woodman Farm. The Organic Garden Club was founded in-part by UNH Dining, and much of the Club’s fresh produce is served in the Dining Halls. UNH Dining has worked with Farm Services for each of the past three years and they have provided UNH with winter squash.
