We believe food tastes better when you know its story. Many of our ingredients are sourced from family farms and artisans in the Ottawa area. When we can’t source from our Carleton community, we prioritize purchasing from ethical producers who engage in practices that minimize the pressures placed our environment’s natural resources.
As a member of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), Carleton uses AASHE’s definition of ‘local‘ when assessing food purchases. This definition requires all production, processing, and distribution facilities associated with a single ingredient item to be within 400 km of the institution.
