It Starts with the Ingredients

Understanding the story of our food has driven our procurement efforts for over 20 years. When purchasing ingredients, we focus on social responsibility. We identify local and sustainable products with low environmental impacts—from sourcing to packaging to distribution. We engage manufacturers and purveyors who align to our vision and seek out new and innovative solutions for production, kitchen equipment, and durable goods.
