 Food Philosophy

 
 

 We are passionate about food and we believe in wholesome, nutritious ingredients.

We provide our communities with fresh, high-quality food, exceptional responsiveness and intensely personal service. By purchasing with the following standards in mind, and preparing items so that they are as fresh as possible when served, we support local agriculture, increase nutrition and intensify flavor.
