Eating Well at PC

Healthy Eating

At Penn Charter, we encourage healthy eating by offering:

Good Food: Did You know?

Penn Charter has not served white rice for approximately two years. Brown rice is our choice because this whole grain is a healthier choice.

Stewardship: Did You Know?

All the apples and honey we served last year were locally grown. Other local products served in the dining hall include: honey, apple cider, milk, eggs, cucumbers, onions, carrots, eggplant, potatoes, squash, lettuce, corn, tomatoes, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, raspberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, nectarines, watermelon, cantaloupe, collard greens, and peppers.

We Buy Local

We continue to look for PA local farmers to educate us or sell us their products. Buying local conserves fossil fuel because the products are transported shorter distance, the products are fresher, and we know how they were produced. Plus, we're supporting the local economy. We partner with:
