Promega Madison enhances employee wellness with options for nutritious, sustainably sourced meals. Our on-site culinary garden Daly Fields, named after biochemist Marie Maynard Daly, produces thousands of pounds of fresh, organic produce each year, including a variety of vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, onions, peppers, raspberries, okra, cabbage, fennel, and kale. This bounty. along with ingredients sourced from over three dozen local farms, is featured in the diverse menus of our cafeterias and also in the weekly take-home meals available to employees prepared by Promega Culinary.
More than just a source of fresh ingredients, Daly Fields represents our commitment to sustainability and ecosystem support, cultivated by our Master Gardener and Master Composter. In our approach, we emphasize harmony with local wildlife, avoiding the use of fences or repellents.
In addition to enjoying produce from the culinary garden, employees may also select their own plots within an on-site community garden so they can exercise their own green thumbs.
