Local Food

Focusing on local food and a low impact, sustainable food chain is an important part of Kenyon's commitment to sustainability that manifests in the College's Farm to Fork partnership with AVI Foodsystems and also a special academic program, Food for Thought.

Farm to Fork

Kenyon has partnered with AVI Foodsystems to create a low impact, sustainable food chain from local farmers to students and back to the Kenyon campus. Find out more about the steps involved.

Kenyon Farm

The Kenyon Farm puts up a weekly stand on Middle Path during the growing season to sell their seasonal bounty, chicken and duck eggs, honey and many other products. Throughout the year, the farm supplies the Kenyon dining hall with some of their produce, so it isn’t surprising to run into radishes and tomatoes that were harvested earlier that day when you cruise along the Peirce Hall servery. Additionally, the farm holds "you pick" opportunities, where customers can pop by at a time of their convenience to harvest their own produce.
