Are you organic?
Technically yes, but officially, we are not allowed to say so. We
are Certified Naturally Grown, a non-profit certification program designed
for small farms. The major difference between Certified Naturally Grown
and the USDA Organic program is the cost to farmers and the amount of
paperwork. So no worries; no chemicals here!
What is
farm-to-table catering?
Farm-to-table catering is a sustainable way to provide high-quality
food while supporting ourselves and other small chemical-free farms. Our
ingredients come from farms within a 100 mile radius, reducing the
time and cost for shipping, ensuring absolute top-quality freshness, and
keeping farmland as farmland. With ingredients such as seafood, we follow
the guidelines from the Blue Ocean
Institute, ensuring that we do not choose over-fished and endangered
fish populations.
