A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
We strive to produce as much local, sustainable, and organic products as possible. We rely heavily on our own farm and garden as well as distributor Mountain Foods that brings much of our local produce to campus. In addition, Sodexo developed the ASPERETTO coffee program which buys shade grown coffee harvested in a sustainable manner. Sodexo also hired a Sustainable Dining Coordinator who started working in October 2012. She will be working to increase the amount of sustainable food offered.
