Harvest Table’s Commitment to Sustainability

As the dining provider at OWU, Harvest Table recognizes the significant impact that food systems have on the environment and the importance of sustainability. Reduced food waste and plant-rich diets are among the most effective solutions to address global climate change, and we are committed to implementing practices that make a difference in the lives of the students we serve, the community we are a part of, and the planet we live on. Our culinarians prioritize utilizing high quality, fresh ingredients sourced in a responsible and ethical manner, developing innovative menus emphasizing plant-based foods, and keeping food waste out of the landfill.

culinary excellence

If the food we serve isn’t delicious, nutritious, and innovative we are not meeting the needs of our guests. Culinary excellence is a core value of Harvest Table's and is rooted in sustainable practices. Fresh, seasonal, and responsibly sourced ingredients compose the best tasting meals, leaving guests satisfied and fueled to take charge of their lives here on The Hill and beyond for years to come.
