Example of weekly CSA share with Vassar Food Co-op

3. Grow your own food! At Vassar, we are lucky to have the Vassar Experimental Garden where students can grow whatever they would like and help with existing projects. To get involved with VEG, please email Jordann Funk at jofunk@vassar.edu or visit their blog!
4. Whenever possible, know the story behind your food - who grew it, where,
using what farming practices, how is it shipped, what additives were used?
5. Vote for candidates who support sustainable farming practices, small farmers,
descriptive labels, and who do not support large corporations at the cost of the
environment and consumer health.
6. Cook and eat with others - friends, family, strangers, whoever! Look out for Slow Food's
community dinners on our events page!
Or start your own compost! Email slowfood.vsa@vassar.edu with any ideas/concerns about food waste at Vassar!

7. Waste less and waste smart. Buy only what you need to eat or share with others. If you live
in the THs, all food waste can be disposed of in the compost pile at the VEG garden in the back
righthand corner. On campus, put all your food scraps in compost bins. For more information
about composting on campus please visit Sustainability at Vassar's blog!
