It might look like that student hauling buckets of compost up Broad Street is just taking out the trash. Look closer and you’ll see that she’s hauling pre-consumer waste from Rad Dish Co-op café, Temple’s student-run cooperative café, to Temple Community Garden.

As the winner of the 2016 SustainPHL Award’s Locavore Champion award, the café—what was once just an ambitious idea a small group of students had—is another reflection on campus of Temple’s momentum.

With a sourcing policy that follows three major requirements—fair trade, local and organic—Rad Dish Co-op was honored by SustainPHL as an organization that is a champion of the local food movement that’s dedicated to connecting local and organic foods to the community.

Rad Dish Co-op opened in February 2015 and is located in Ritter Annex.
