Dining

All on-campus residents are required to have a meal plan. Each of our meal plans offers a variety of options, satisfying a variety of dietary requirements, personal tastes, and individual schedules. UVM Dining has a strong commitment to social responsibility and works with regional businesses to provide as much organic and local food as possible to the entire campus community. The wide range of menu items gives everyone ample choices for creating nutritious, well-balanced meals.

Sustainability

Body

Sustainability is a longstanding core value here at UVM Dining. It is woven into everything we do, from purchasing local and sustainable foods, providing a variety of plant-forward options, reducing food packaging and waste, to giving back to our community. We know that our students and community care about where their food comes from and how it is prepared. Our chefs work hard to source local ingredients and offer recipes that are both good for your health and socially and environmentally responsible.

We are committed to decreasing packaging and food waste on campus as much as possible while ensuring the health and safety of those we serve. We use the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Waste Management Hierarchy to guide our waste reduction initiatives on campus.

To learn more about these initiatives visit UVM Dining's Sustainability page.
