EXPERIENCE OUR SERVICE
GARDEN TO TABLE
UM Catering is thrilled to take advantage of UM Campus Dining’s numerous on-site gardens and sustainability initiatives in order to keep our offerings as fresh and as local as possible. Our partners as Campus Dining host two produce gardens, a greenhouse, a buzzing apiary, six Welsh Harlequin ducks, a microgreens growing facility, and even a small orchard. All told, these programs generate thousands of pounds of produce that UM Catering is honored to incorporate into our meals, minimizing the farm-to-table mileage for food which you can serve proudly and with the knowledge that your meal is both local and sustainable.
