Dining at Elon

Hello, my name is Jay Vetter. I'm the Executive Chef here at Elon University. Today I want to tell you a little bit about our dining program and what makes us different. We have a lot of passion. We have an amazing culinary team and amazing team all together here at Elon dining. And we already know it's a special place to be. So we take that to the next level. We work here in North Carolina to procure everything we can local as we can.

Today, we're on Loy Farm, doesn't get any local than that. This farm is located on campus, student ran farm. We actually are able to work with them and collaborate and bring some of the produce amazing things they grow right on campus. Like I said, it doesn't get any fresher than that. On top of that we're able to work with small farmers right here in North Carolina. One in particular is Randy Lewis, who owns Ran-Lew Dairy. Small herd, 50 cows, we were able to work with him over this past year and bring his milk on the campus. That was a big deal for us. Randy is able to provide us with milk in residential and retail on campus. And it's amazing stuff. And trust me if you get a chance, you want to try the chocolate milk, it's the best there is.

Our dining program is for the students. We're just the facilitators of dining program. We're here to serve you. We want feedback. We have NapkinTalk boards in all of our dining halls. We answer that feedback every day. And our goal is to never say no, we want to say yes to every request we have. That's a big deal for us and we take a lot of pride in it.

So we're super excited for you to join us here at Elon, and we can't wait to have you. So pull up a seat at the table and join us for dinner.
