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 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 one of the leading reasons why we take fresh foods directly from farms, as it preserves energy and enhances the purity of our foods.

Reducing food waste

Food Waste

Reducing food waste is our number one 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

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

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 for
livestock is 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.
