FOOD RECOVERY VERIFIED
Bon Appétit at Colorado College is fighting food waste and hunger by recovering surplus perishable food from our campus that would otherwise go to waste and donating it to people in need through Urban Peak Colorado Springs.

Farm to Fork
Farm to Fork is a companywide initiative to buy locally, formalized in 1999. Our first choice is to purchase seasonal ingredients from small, owner-operated farms and ranches within a 150-mile radius of your café. Food grown locally is fresher, better tasting, and often has greater nutritional value. Our commitment to local food is about preserving biodiversity, protecting open space, supporting family farmers, and keeping money invested in your community. Bon Appétit aims to spend at least 20 cents of every dollar with our network of over a thousand Farm to Fork suppliers. By doing so, we aim to strengthen our regional food systems so that everyone in our communities can eat well not just today, but for the future.

The Peak to Plains Alliance (PPA) is a coalition of rural and urban community and agricultural leaders in southeastern Colorado that collaborates on diverse projects to promote the area’s agricultural heritage and economic viability. Education, conservation and enjoyment are key components of the Alliance’s focus.
PPA works to enhance a system in which consumers enjoy the health benefits of fresh local food, as well as farm and ranch experiences. PPA seeks to ensure that farmers and ranchers receive a fair price from their products and services and encourages stewardship of working lands and adjacent environments according to ecological principles.
