The University of Oklahoma’s "Look Local" week-long event rounds out with a farmer’s market where students can purchase organic foods from local vendors.
OU’s housing and food services sponsored the activities from Sept. 21-25 raising awareness of social responsibility and eco-education. Events included several anniversaries of campus restaurants and a recycling competition between dorm residents. The farmer’s market was held Thurs from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the Walker-Adams Mall, showcasing several local farmed and baked products.
“This is great!” said OU student Heather Anderson. “I picked up some stuff after class. I’m trying to teach my daughter to eat healthy.”
OU offers several choices for students throughout the year for local and organic dining. Since it’s opening last year, The Laughing Tomato located in the Student Union has been serving locally grown products in about 15% of its items.
