Healthy Lunch

It's easy to choose healthy options in the dining halls. This turkey sandwich on whole wheat with a side of steamed peas is a great example!

The UNH Organic Garden Club (OGC) is a student-run organization established in 2003. OGC is part of the Food & Society Initiative of the UNH Office of Sustainability. OGC maintains a two-acre farm on the Campus-Community Farm, a 30-acre USDA certified organic site.

Fruit in Dining Halls
