FarmSource® is our initiative to partner with
some of the finest, local food growers and
producers to provide you the very best products
our community has to offer. FarmSource®
strengthens our commitment to serving fresh
meals and supports our local communities.
•
FarmSource® produce is sourced from
growers within 150 miles from our
local distributors. We build lasting
partnerships through the assistance of
farmer based organizations and take
pride in providing the freshest produce
our community growers have to offer.
•
FarmSource® dairy products come from
farms within 150 miles of local milk
processing facilities. We partner with
dairy farms that are independently
owned and operated by families who
choose not to treat their herds with rBGH
(bovine growth hormone). We value
our partnerships with these families
because we believe in the shared value
of preserving the natural credibility of
our milk supply.
•
FarmSource® meat products are
supplied by regional meat producers.
These facilities are USDA inspected
and source their animals from farms
that are within a 3 hour drive from the
processing facility. We work closely
with these companies to insure high
standards of animal care, well being
and nutrition. We only partner with the
highest quality operators in all animal
protein categories.
•
FarmSource® artisan producers are
passionate about providing limited
lines of unique, high quality products.
We work with these suppliers to
provide a range of hand-crafted
products including local hearth baked
bread and ethnic sausages from your
neighborhood producer. We hand
select these companies because of
their high standards and reputations in
the local culinary community. We are
excited to partner with these artisan
producers and share their pride and
passion in providing the highest quality
products our region has to offer.
FarmSource® is an initiative of our
EcoSteps program created to lessen
our impact on the environment.
