A brief description of the sustainable food and beverage purchasing program:
The Pride of New York Program promotes and supports the sale of agricultural products grown and food products processed within New York State. By supporting this initiative, we support local farmers and food manufacturers. It’s a win-win partnership that sustains local business development. These local businesses include: Perry’s Ice Cream, Kreher’s Eggs, Costanzo’s Bakery, Wardynski's Meats, Upstate Farms, Rich’s, Desiderio’s Fruit & Produce, Rosina Foods, Al Cohen’s Bakery and McCullagh Coffee.
We are proud to feature locally grown fresh produce from the following farms: Freatman Farms, Robinson Farms, Eden Valley Growers, Piedmonte Farms and Dobbins Orchards.
Campus Dining & Shops is proud to have spent $3.9 million in food purchases with local vendors last year. As a local company ourselves, we know the importance of helping our community find and choose local products while building relationships with growers, food artisans, and food manufacturers right here in Western New York.
