Farm to Fork
Our groundbreaking local sourcing program
Many food service companies have jumped on the local sourcing bandwagon. We’re proud to say we were the first to codify local purchasing in food service. Through our Farm to Fork program, we’ve spent tens of millions of dollars on local purchasing each year since 1999.
Farm to Fork requires our chefs, companywide, to buy at least 20% of their ingredients from small farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and food producers within 150 miles of their kitchens. By buying directly from farmers, we have much more control over the types of agriculture we support.
We are proud of our longstanding Farm to Fork commitments:
