One of our Parkhurst Gold Standards is to source more than 20% of our food purchases from local vendors and partnerships. Parkhurst maintains two innovative local purchasing program we call FarmSource and Forged Partners. FarmSource is an initiative to seek and build partnerships with some of the finest local growers, family-owned farms and producers of food in our communities. Forged Partners are family and independently owned artisan makers that allow us to introduce our guests to creative, unique, and exciting products.

LUM Loves Local

We add a hashtag #LUMLovesLocal on our social media for our Local features and partnerships. We even have a local shelf in Iggy's Market dedicated to Local products for guests to purchase. Zeke's Coffee developed an exclusive blend for Loyola called "Greyhound Grind." We get all of our ground beef from Roseda Farms in Baltimore, and the owner is a Loyola alumnus as well. We partner with different vendors to spotlight their products and make sure our guests know what we offer is local and great quality.
