1930s label from The S of O Cannery
For over 100 years, work and agriculture, as well as education, have been important at College of the Ozarks. From its humble farm beginnings and early canning operations to today's student-run farms and student-produced smoked hams and other foods, "Hard Work U," as the College is known, continues to serve the Ozarks in many ways.
Keeping with tradition, Dobyns serves only the finest, freshest ingredients available, many of which are grown locally. Our tomatoes, green beans, and some other vegetables are grown in campus gardens in season, by students.
Every part of your Dobyns dining experience includes work done by students.
