Resources
A variety of resources!
Our cafe , market and kitchen utilize some of the best items our area has to offer. Ensuring that we bring in fresh, sustainably raised/harvested/farmed foods to serve you is a big, big deal for us. It’s no secret that organic foods have officially caught on, but for us it’s about actually seeing and talking with the folk we buy our food from every week. We’ve reached the point where we demand to know where our food comes from, and thus we’d like to share the same information with you, our community. Check out the ever-growing list of people who provide the lifeblood for our menu week in, and week out.
