Harvesting Health: Embracing Seasonal Eating
We believe in the power of seasonal eating to nourish both body and planet. Seasonal eating isn't just about freshness; it's also about eating in harmony with nature's rhythm. Choosing fruits and vegetables that are in-season means they require less artificial intervention, resulting in lower carbon emissions and reduced pesticide usage! Our Plant Forward approach is a great way to get the most out of seasonal eating by emphasizing the abundance and variety of plant-based foods available. It's a win-win for both your health and the environment!
Initiatives on Campus
Our friends over at Craic Sauce recently went over the process of their sauce and how it connects with Umass Lowell. You can read the story online, and if you're looking to purchase you can find gift packages over at Crossroads!
