Welcome to the Seasoned Spoon!

The Seasoned Spoon is an independent café at Trent University offering delicious lunches and snacks for students, staff and faculty. Acting as an alternative to the processed, institutional offerings of the larger corporations, the Spoon's mission is to serve up ethically-mindful fare on 'real' dishes. Our key principles are:

• To serve healthy, organic, locally grown, affordable food

• To be a student-run, co-operatively structured, not-for-profit organization

• To offer student learning opportunities through paid staff, volunteer work, and Community Based Education courses

• To encourage the diverse use of preexisting student space on campus

• To strengthen university links with the Peterborough community

• To increase community awareness of food issues through educational outreach

• To be accountable to our members by continuing to serve their interests and remaining true to our mandate

• To be as accessible and inclusive as possible. This will include active outreach to inform our membership of our services and to seek their input.

• To have a decision-making process that is based on consensus and that promotes respect

• To respect the diverse opinions that will exist within the group and encourage active debate.
