Through its Farm to Fork program, Bon Appétit buys produce in season within a 150-mile radius of the campus. The practice boosts the local economy and reduces “food miles,” the distance food travels from harvest to table, which in turn decreases global warming, air pollution, water contamination, traffic congestion, and the need for oil. Bon Appétit at Otterbein buys milk from Ohio cows that are hormone and antibiotic free; stocks only free trade coffee on campus; makes seafood purchasing decisions based on the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch recommendations; and buys only cage-free eggs, and all shell eggs are Certified Humane, which means battery cages are not permitted and the housing facilities must include areas for hens to nest, dist bathe, scratch and perch. Other practices at Otterbein include the use of canola oil for frying and unbleached, biodegradable napkins in the cafeterias and cafes on campus. Used frying oil is given to The Ohio State University, which uses the oil as an alternative fuel for their vehicles.
