What is Farm-to-Table?
The term farm-to-table suggests that the food served by a restaurant comes directly from a farm, without
going through a store, market, or distributor. In its most pure form, a farm-to-table restaurant would imply
that you eat at the farm.
More frequently, farm-to-table means a direct relationship between a farm and a restaurant, which is what we
have here at PureFoods. Rather than buying through a distributor or a food service, we have created
relationships with local farms and purchase our food supply directly from them. From this process, our
community’s local farmers benefit as they can now make more money, and you benefit, as you get to know the
processes behind the creation, treatment, and preparation of your food. Moreover, at PureFoods, we have
higher
quality and fresher food because our items are delivered directly from our supplying farms, only hours after
being harvested. As a result, we have the unique ability to have specialty items that may be difficult to
get
from a food distributor.
Our Approach:
We at PureFoods showcase the ability to bring together various cultural cuisines into one farm-to-table restaurant. Here at PureFoods, you can taste the difference between locally grown vegetables and fruits at our unique restaurant, which look, feel, and taste much better than processed food. Our garden-fresh veggies and fruits are all very flavorful and delicious. Plus, the aroma and natural substances from them not only enhance the taste of our meals, but also provide many health benefits for you, which overall will contribute to your happiness and wellbeing.
At PureFoods, we also grow some of our own vegetables and fruits like watermelons, cucumbers, beans, corn,
onions, tomatoes, and many more. Conjointly, we offer discounts for tours on our supplying farms, where
production and development methods of the food that you eat here at PureFoods, are shown. On top of that, in
order for you to enjoy ingredients at their peak freshness, quality, and nutritional value, we are devoted
to serving a rotating seasonal menu.
How are we sustainable?
Refrigeration
Refrigeration
Refrigeration is responsible for nearly half of the energy consumption by the retail and supermarket sector, whose emissions have multiplied more than four times since 1990. This is why we take fresh foods directly from farms as it preserves energy.
Reducing food waste
Food Waste
Reducing food waste is our priority. Therefore, any leftover food that we have, including the peels and husks of vegetables, is trashed in separate receptacles, where we can send them to be recycled or turn them into nutrient-rich compost.
Reusable Dishware
Reusable Dishware
We use amazing reusable ceramic dishes, mugs, and glassware to serve our customers with our authentic dishes so that we can avoid contributing to plastic landfills and waste accumulation.
Sustainable Takeout Packaging
Sustainable Takeout Packaging
We provide recyclable and compostable take out containers, but don’t forget to rinse out these containers completely, leaving no trace of food before you recycle them.
Whole Food Plant Diet
The global food system is responsible for 30% of all greenhouse gas emissions. This includes emissions from animal husbandry, livestock, processing, transportation, and food waste across the entire food production chain.
A single cow produces between 154 to 264 pounds of methane gas per year. 1.5 billion cattle, raised for meat production worldwide, emit at least 231 billion pounds of methane into the atmosphere each year.
On top of that, the production of animal feed and grazing land, particularly for livestock such as cattle and pigs, have been a leading cause of worldwide deforestation.
So, by eating at PureFoods, you are actively offsetting this harm to our one and only planet, while also bettering your own health. Now, that’s a win-win scenario! So come and enjoy yourself at PureFoods.
