A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
Mount Holyoke Dining Services procures as much of its food as possible from local growers and purveyors. In addition to fresh produce, Dining Services makes every effort to buy environmentally and socially responsible goods, including Equal Exchange Fair Trade certified coffee. In 2005 Mount Holyoke and the other members of Five Colleges formalized the buy-local effort as a Five College initiative.
