Food

Food at Warren Wilson focuses on a shared sense of environmental and social responsibility. Our three campus dining locations participate in farm-to-table, composting, and recycling programs. Student work crews grow and harvest the crops and animals that feed the campus as well as the local community. Academic work includes agriculture, food policy, and the ethics of food availability and consumption. Food Security is one of our community engagement issue areas, helping us understand ways food impacts communities.

Our award-winning, 300-acre farm and garden produce pasture-raised beef, pork, and poultry; organically-raised vegetables and herbs; as well as an apple orchard and mushroom patch — all run by students.

Where to Eat

By providing food straight from our farm and garden, highlighting local and seasonal offerings, and discouraging food waste, the dining experience at Warren Wilson provides true nourishment — for you and the Earth. And because our meals are served and prepared by your fellow students, they become a true community experience.

Feeding the Community

The Food Security issue area works with community gardens and local food banks to address hunger and nutrition availability issues in the Asheville/Buncombe region.
