The GFL (Good, Fresh, Local) University of Nebraska—Lincoln Sustainable Food Project

The GFL University of Nebraska—Lincoln Sustainable Food Project began in September 2005 at Cather/Pound/Neihardt Dining Service and in January 2007 expanded to the East Campus Union Dining Service.

The goal of the GFL project is as follows:

The GFL Project is a University of Nebraska-Lincoln residence hall dining program designed to serve traditional meals and individual menu items where the menu ingredients:

• Come mostly from small LOCAL (Nebraska) farmers and producers
• Are produced using sustainable agriculture practices
• Are seasonal
• Include organic products

The GFL Team Members include the following:

• Students
• Farmers and Producers
• University Dining Service
• The Food Processing Center
• Nebraska Cooperative Development Center
• The Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society

The GFL Project has been very popular with students and we are excited to announce that beginning August 2007 we will offer a few individual GFL menu items at Abel/Sandoz, Harper/Schramm/Smith and Selleck Dining Services. The menu items will be identified with a GFL Menu Card that identifies the item, the farmer/producer, and town where the item(s) are grown and/or produced.

If you have any questions about the GFL Project, please feel free to contact Pam Edwards, (Assistant Director University Dining Service) at 472-9045 or pedwards1@unl.edu.
