1 Bon Appétit Management Company serves 80 million meals in 400 cafés nationwide each year. The large-impact company has developed its own definition of sustainability as it relates to foodservice. It believes sustainability to be food choices that celebrate flavor, affirm regional cultural traditions and support local communities without compromising air, water or soil, now and in the future. With that definition in mind, Bon Appétit implemented a Farm-to-Fork program to buy locally and invest in the health of the community. Bon Appétit supports local sustainable farming practices that steer away from pesticides, hormones and antibiotics. Also, they can be sure the profits are kept with the local grower, not a distant importer, and therefore reinvested into the community. Oberlin Colle
