        We are happy to share what we have on our
        plates when it comes to meal time!

        Eating local and supporting local business is very important to us, and we want to promote this consciousness. The following farms and businesses are people from whom we buy products from and stand by their growing practices. 

        Hooray for local food!!  May it be delicious, abundant and always on your plate.  
        Bon appetite!
