Partnering with local farmers to source quality culinary ingredients and support small, quality operations is a bit of an obsession for us, and has been since the start.
We believe in the power of food that is free of antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides and is serviced by individuals that are paid a fair and sustainable wage- and we know just where to find it!
We’ve scoured the community for farming partners that fulfill all the above criteria in order to take the idea of farm-to-table a bit further.
Before we endorse a product (no matter how yummy), we ask:
Whose farm is it coming from? What are their values? How do they treat their workers and livestock? How are they treating our Earth? And, what is their story?
We double down on good people and good products and incorporate them into our menu wherever possible.
It’s why we can point you to where they grow the Minneola Oranges you’ve savored in your seasonal jelly (Edge of Urban Farm), tell you about the cats that ‘guard them’ (their names are Fish and Chips), and brag all about the kind farmer who tends to them (Lily and her fam). This is one small example of how we get to know our farmers (and their cats) in order to not only pick the best product, but to support the best humans.
We believe in the entrepreneurial spirit of America and we want to see our neighbors and small producers make it. We take steps every single day to assure our local partner-farmers stay in business.
Because supporting our local economy is very important to us, we strike a balance between foraging from small farms, ranches and artisans – from around the US.
- Our beef is grass-fed from Eel River in Northern California.
- Our pork is from Beelers Pure Pork.
- Our poultry is local and from Pasture Bird right here in our backyard!
- Our sandwich meats are from Diestal Ranch & Nimans.
We sleep good at night knowing:
that what you put in your body was grown and produced thoughtfully and
that by sourcing through them,
we've helped our farmers continue to thoughtfully grow and produce.
If you’re curious about an item incorporated in our menu, we would be happy to tell you all about the story behind it.
Just pull up a seat and get comfy cause it’s always a good one.
