From a historical passenger depot in the mid 1800’s to a sustainable restaurant in 2013 the Dairy Bar is the per fect example of the past and current times and displays marketing that is both traditional and contemporary. The original wooden sign was kept as a nod to the old UNH Dairy Bar. It was simply re-fitted with the new tagline, “Local-Sustainable-Fresh”. The old sign was also the inspiration for the Dairy Bar logo. Through advertising on the radio, print, and social media sites the Dairy Bar has embraced modern technology while staying true to it’s rich history.

UNH Dairy Bar: get the green scoop! The UNH Dairy Bar has always been a Durham staple. Whether you’ve stopped in on a hot summer day for an always overflowing cone of delicious ice cream, or if you’ve enjoyed one of their super fast, super filling, and super cheap meals, anyone who has frequented the campus can probably tout a yummy memory of the little brick building on the railroad tracks. But when UNH Dining Services took over the Dairy Bar in 2008, they wanted to do something to shine a brighter light on the stalwart community landmark. Among other things, they chose to use sustainability as a key focus of how they built the framework for the new-and-improved campus eatery. So far the road to green has been nothing if not a team effort: Rick MacDonald, Assistant Director of University Hospitality Services, along with Director of Dining Jon Plodzik, and Director of Culinary Services Ralph Coughenour, have focused their efforts on the success of UNH Dining's Local Harvest Initiave, which brings local food into three studentdining halls and retail locations. As a result, the Dairy Bar now sources all of their chicken from Legacy Farms in Barrington, NH; gets their cage and hormone-free eggs from Pete and Gerry's in Monroe; their bagels from The Bagelry right in downtown Durham; their fair trade and organic coffee from NH Coffee Roasters in Dover; organic granola from Grandy Oats from Brownfield, Maine; Organic and natural yogurt from Stoneyfield Farms in Londonderry; gelato from Dorito Gelato in Brentwood, NH; and, last but not least, their famous ice cream comes from Blake's in Manchester. According to Rick MacDonald, this makes the UNH Dairy Bar one of the most local-intensive eateries anywhere in the state. "Seventy-five percent of our food comes from local sources and that is one of the chief ways that we’re lessening our carbon footprint,” says MacDonald. Another new focus of the Dairy Bar will be to work towards a zero waste stream. That means composting and recycling upwards of 90% of their waste. While all recyclables are fed into the proper pathways, the bountiful organic waste will now be diverted to Kingman Farm in Madbury, where in about 6 to 8 months it will be turned into a beautiful top soil amendment suitable for gardeners and farmers alike. All of the Dairy Bar’s to-go silverware and containers are made out of biodegradable plant-based materials which, unlike the standard, petroleum intensive alternative, can also be composted. They have also gone so far as to bring on a solar powered compacter for the organic waste, meaning fewer trips to Kingman Farm and, therefore, fewer carbon emissions.

The Dairy Bar also thinks about the little things: determined to lead by example, Jon Plodzik rides his bike to get around campus. And that’s when he’s not using an electric car, ready to go whenever the weather is uncooperative. "We've given out 8,000 mugs this year to encourage students to bring in their mug and to become a member of our mug club, which gives them 25 cents off", MacDonald says of yet another of the Dairy Bar’s green steps forward. They have taken to using Vetrazzo countertops, which are made with recycled glass, as well as incorporating organic cotton uniforms. The Dairy Bar has always been a tremendous asset for the Durham community. Now they’re taking their efforts to the next level, along the way showcasing their ability to be sustainable in an ever-growing variety of ways.
