I think you will find the following of great interest. It is embarrassing that Oshkosh is so far behind other UW campuses in joining this project, and buy from local farms and cooperatives that use organic and sustainable farming practices. We ought to become the next UW campus to do so:

Six campuses in Wisconsin are now buying some of the food for their dining services directly from local Wisconsin farms and farmer cooperatives. Four of them are buying from local farms and cooperatives that use organic and sustainable farming practices. The UW-Madisonʼs Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems is helping to connect these farmers with campus dining services. . . .
