Northland College is proud to have a strong local foods initiative. We’re already half way to our goal of having eighty percent of the food served on campus supplied from local sources. Currently nearly twenty farms and businesses within one hundred miles of campus, as well as our very own campus gardens, supply the cafeteria with vegetables, fruits, herbs, jams, cider, pork, beef, Lake Superior fish, flour, cheese, eggs, fermented vegetables, bread, granola, honey, maple syrup, ice cream, and coffee.

In addition to sourcing as much local food as we can, we do our best to keep you and the planet healthy by using cage free eggs, antibiotic-free chicken and pork, sustainable seafood, and zero trans fats oils in all our cooking.
