Local and sustainable food
Between 26% and 30% of the total amount Dining Services spends on food each year is spent on products that are produced, grown or manufactured within 250 miles of a 抖阴福利导航 campus. This number doesn鈥檛 include local produce, which is purchased seasonally, and more difficult to track. We are also proud to partner with the Rock Creek Learning Garden to purchase hyper-local organic fruits and veggies for some of our catered events!
Organic
There are many products we purchase that are organic. Some companies we regularly purchase from that provide organic products are:
- Columbia Gorge
- Viso
- Pacific Natural
- Harry鈥檚 Soups
- Portland Roasting Coffee
Fair trade
抖阴福利导航 Dining Services purchases fair trade coffee from two vendors: Portland Roasting and Starbucks.
Vegetarian and vegan options
Although each campus offers a different variety of options based on their size, each campus does offer vegetarian and vegan options. Some campus caf茅s offer sandwiches (a local company making exclusively vegetarian and vegan options) provided by a local, family owned business.
We鈥檙e also pleased to support a 抖阴福利导航 Alumni and their company which makes vegan sandwiches that are available in some of our cafeterias as well.
