UVM Dining

Food is often a big part of the college choice, and there are excellent options for all diets at UVM.
- We currently we have 4 “all you care to eat” dining halls and 12 retail outlets to get something to eat or drink.
- Plus, we have a mobile food ordering app Bite Universities
- Available options include vegan/vegetarian, allergen-free, Kosher, classic comforts, locally delicious, globally inspired meals made with fresh ingredients.
- We have allergen-free entree stations on Athletic, Redstone, and Central Campus, plus a gluten and nut free pantry in all four dining halls.
- We have a Registered Dietitian on staff who works directly with students.
UVM is dedicated to providing local, ecologically sound, fair, and/or humane food.
- This past year we purchased from over 95 local farmers and producers, including UVM. We exclusively serve maple syrup from our very own maple trees.
- Other popular local favorites include products like apples, cheese, and root vegetables.
- Please note, this is no longer officially through the "Real Food Challenge" organization anymore, so please do not reference RFC in your tour.
CREAM and Dairy Bar
- We purchase UVM milk from the CREAM program to be made into ice cream which is sold at the UVM Dairy Bar

In my second year, I had a meeting with the on-campus dietician who set up dining accommodations for me. I was able to call in to the dining halls before I got there to get my own GF meal. -Avi Bauer
