Meat, Dairy and Eggs

Dining Services is committed to using animal products that were raised with considerations for animal welfare and that lessen environmental impact. 

• We purchase only Cage-Free Eggs in all of our operations.  Purchasing cage-free ensures that chickens are not confined to battery cages and are able to move about and engage in natural behaviors.  We buy our eggs from Wilcox Family Farms in Roy, WA, a four-generation family farm.  By purchasing only cage-free eggs, Pomona keeps 1,500 chickens out of cages annually. 
• We are committed to serving Certified Humane meat as much as possible.  Currently, the majority of beef and chicken we use comes from family-owned responsible farms, which allow the animals to roam, feed them a vegetarian diet and do not use hormones or antibiotics.  We are continually increasing the amount of responsibly- and ethically-produced meat we purchase.
  • Most of the chicken we use comes from Mary’s Free-Range Chicken, a family-owned farm in the San Joaquin Valley in California. 
  • Most of the beef we purchase comes from Meyer’s Natural Angus in Montana.  All of these products are certified Humane.
• All milk is rBST free, meaning cows are never given bovine growth hormones to stimulate production.
• We are able to purchase organic yogurt and butter.  The certified organic standard ensures that cows are fed an entirely organic diet, have access to pasture and are never given antibiotics or hormones.
