Optional Fields
Randolph College's dining services attempt to buy as much local food as possible during the growing season, as the price of the local food bought in bulk is somewhat comparable to the non-local food. It has a food council that asks students to voice their opinion on the food purchased. Therefore, through student demand, the dining hall also purchases a good deal of organically grown and fairly traded food. Every time a good alternative to non organic, non fair trade, non local food is available at a reasonable price, the dining services go for it.
