Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is an option at WWC for all kinds of food preferences. Cowpie Café is a campus favorite, offering healthy and delicious vegetarian and vegan options. Much of the produce from the garden, as well as other local goodies, makes its way into Cowpie’s kitchen and to our plates. Cowpie’s crew meets regularly to discuss what works, what doesn’t, what new dishes to try, and what old favorites to reinvent. Upstairs from the Café is Gladfelter’s main cafeteria, which offers all-you-can-eat buffet style dining. Always present in Glad are vegan options, a full salad bar, deli bar, hot bar, desserts and ice cream. All beef and pork served in Glad comes straight from the farm. The rotation can get a little stale, especially after a few years, but the overwhelming sentiment is that we offer tastier and healthier meals with less money than lots of state schools.

Sage Café offers after-hours dining. The baking crew always has delicious sweet treats for sale, and the Sage crew makes nachos, brick oven pizza, coffee, tea, bagels, paninis, and all kinds of deliciousness. For really late-night snack cravings, the vending machine in the basement of Dorland has a rotating mix of organic goods, including vegan cookies, Blue Sky soda, and Newman-O’s. Co-ops spring up whenever there is an interest. In 2009, one campus house chose to arrange itself as a co-op, shopping, cooking, and eating together. Some students opt off of the meal plan entirely when joining a co-op, while others choose to participate only part-time.

Something for Everyone...

While Gladfelter and Cowpie generally aren't that clean, their food is pretty okay most nights. Vegetarians and vegans will find no problems in their search for healthy, meatless, or dairy-free foods. However, when meals aren't happening, there isn't a place that will sell you food on campus. It's an issue.

Not For Me

The food is far too heavy. It really depends on what kind of eater you are, but if you like to have meals that are on the lighter side then you will be disappointed. Everything in Gladfelter is heavy and sauce covered. The food is much too rich and if you eat lunch and dinner in the cafeteria it's like you are eating two dinners a day. Not so great for avoiding the freshman 15.

Dual Dining

We have two dining areas. The larger Gladfelter which is on a 3 week rotation more or less. The food includes those purchased through Sodexo as well as food grown on the campus and animals raised on our farm. We also have Cowpie which is a vegan cafeteria. All the food there is organic and they have a speaker system. People generally skip breakfast and eat out weekends so you don't need the largest meal plan.

Did You Know?

Both Gladfelter and Cowpie Café use Warren Wilson produce whenever possible, and all beef and pork served in Gladfelter is Wilson meat. Cowpie is committed to serving healthy and delicious vegetarian and vegan food and is much raved about by students.

Food co-ops come and go with student interest. Students can sign up for those full-time or part-time in lieu of cafeteria eating.
