Farm to University

The Farm to University Project began in 2009 when several students became frustrated at the lack of locally-sourced foods available in campus dining facilities. That fall, Slow Food UW partnered with UW Housing’s Dining and Culinary Services to offer a locally-sourced dinner once a week at Rheta’s dining hall. Farm to University interns have worked to grow the project since then, and today students can enjoy locally-sourced meals on campus several times a week.

But this is not enough! Farm to University wants to make “local” a norm on campus, and to do this we must find ways to engage University staff and students to question the lack of local food and demand more of it. We want your help to make this change!
