Whether they’re concerned about the climate catastrophe, saving animals, or improving their health, more and more young people are recognizing the benefits of going vegan. According to the Good Food Institute, the sales of animal-free foods grew three times faster than overall food sales in 2021. Research shows that Gen Zers specifically view going vegan as a way to promote compassion toward animals, address the climate catastrophe, lower their carbon footprint, and promote sustainability. Check out which universities are moving with the times and offering vegan options!

We assess completed questionnaires and the dining hall menus of thousands of colleges and universities across the country and then grade the schools to help you determine how your current or prospective one stacks up.

Kenyon Peirce Hall is a 3 STAR certified Green restaurant (dinegreen.com). The only other 3 star College dining program is Bates College. Kenyon Dining (AVI Fresh) truly purchases over 40% from the local community with a Sustainable Director John Marsh, who is a farmer, and his Assistant Charlotte purchasing produce, yogurt, local breads,etc… by travelling into the local food shed of the county. Kenyon has a Vegan side and an Omnivore side everyday to the fresh green salad bar. There is also a Grains bar and a Greek Yogurt bar, with most of the grains purchased from the local Amish farms. Vegan options are identified on all menus, and posted for the students to view (see photos). The servery has a Vegan section with a full size Vegan refrigerator serving only vegan choices. Kenyon College vegans are vocal to their wants and needs and our Chef Meagan responds quickly.
