Local Highlight: Headwater Food Hub

Dining Team Green sat down with the amazing folks at Headwater Food Hub to learn more about who they are and why their partnership with the University of Rochester Dining Services is so important. Check out our video to learn more about Headwater and it’s partnership with the University of Rochester.

Headwater Food Hub is an organization that partners with New York State farmers to bring fresh food to restaurants and universities year round. In addition, their direct to consumer project, the Good Food Collective, allows people to subscribe and receive weekly shares of local, fresh products. There are a variety of shares to choose from including cheese shares, coffee shares, mushroom shares, standard shares and so many other options! Recently, the Good Food Collective has even added the option of customizable shares!

Even better? Dining Services has collaborated with the Good Food Collective to add a drop off location in Hillside Market. It’s never been easier to obtain local food. Sign up for your shares of local, fresh, good food today!
