Grover Market, located in front of the Atrium Café, will feature student-grown vegetables from the Plant Biology Learning Gardens as well as student-produced items from the café.
This weekly vegetable sale offers students, faculty and staff delicious, all-organic produce grown by Food Studies students under the direction of Dr. Art Trese in the Plant Biology Learning Gardens.
In case you miss a sale, there are now two opportunities to get your produce
locally, all while supporting the Food Studies internship program:
- Fridays at the PBio Learning Gardens (3:00p-5:00p)
- Wednesdays at the Atrium Café in Grover Center (1:00p-3:30p)
Proceeds from the veggie sale will help fund Food Studies summer internships. Dr. Theresa Moran, Food Studies Theme Director, notes that working with the Atrium Café showcases its green initiatives and is a great example of cross-college collaboration, adding that “sharing food and making a meal really brings everyone together!” The Atrium Café is a student-run business connected with the Ohio University Division of Food Sciences and Nutrition.
Francis McFadden, Atrium Café Coordinator and and Chief Culinary Officer, says that the Grover Market “brings together a diverse group of stakeholders at Ohio University, each in their own way dedicated to growing our local food system while improving the health of our community and economy.”
As Moran points out, “The Food Studies students come from all majors and colleges, so supporting the sale is supporting students who are passionate about shaping our food future in a healthier direction.”
