what we bring
to the table

We expect our food to taste good, but we want
it to do more than that. We want to know where it
came from. How it's made. Who prepared it.
We want it to tell a story.

GROW ROOTS IN YOUR
COMMUNITY THROUGH FOOD

We do more than serve the community—
we become a part of it.

collaborative

quality is our commitment

Our chefs go beyond technique and flavor development—they stay true
to the Harvest Table culinary commitments from sourcing to preparation.

Simple, Clean
& Honest

We keep our ingredients as clean as possible, so they taste the way nature intended. That means no artificial ingredients, additives or synthetic chemicals.

Ingredients
with integrity

Our chefs pick the right ingredients for the right reasons. We support partners who share the same mission and care for their products, livestock and crops with respect and responsibility.

Committed To
The Community

We make sure a minimum of 20% of our ingredients are grown, harvested or produced within 150 miles of campus to keep food fresh and communities thriving.

Hand Made Makes
A Difference

We take a hands-on approach to the way we prepare our meals. Our recipes are chef-developed and prepared in-house in small batches to ensure peak flavor.

Rooted In Health
And Wellness

Our registered dietitians and wellness managers ensure the menus we create work for a variety of nutritional needs to nourish every student's body and mind.

sourcing standards

Chobani believes health and wellness should be universal. We do too. So our Chobani yogurt is additive and rBGH free, certified non-GMO and tastes delicious too.

Clean label ingredients ensure that our recipes are made from nourishing whole foods.

We use Applegate Farms meats at our deli, which contain no antibiotics, no GMO ingredients and are third-party humane certified.

All of our liquid dairy products are rBGH-free, meaning free of unwanted side effects in humans and dairy cows—and they’re locally-sourced.

Our poultry is Third-Party Certified, higher animal welfare, and never given antibiotics or artificial hormones.

Our beef is grass-fed and Third-Party Certified, higher animal welfare, and never given antibiotics or artificial hormones.

We believe chicken should roam free too, so our chefs only use cage-free eggs, 100% of the time.

Our pork is Third-Party Certified, higher animal welfare, and never given antibiotics or artificial hormones.

We serve seafood rated Best Choice or Good Alternative by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch List.

Our chefs strive to ensure that more than 20% of our ingredients are grown, harvested or produced within 150 miles of our restaurants.

We use imperfect and misshapen produce (still perfectly delicious and nutritious) in our recipes to cut back on unnecessary waste.

Our chefs create seasonal recipes designed to feature the absolute best produce the region is growing.

Our chefs help plan orders, forecast crop needs, and provide purchasing reports for our local farming partners.

We serve organically grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

Recipes are locally-developed by our executive chefs and culinary teams.

We love scratch-made cooking, from salad dressings to doughs, pasta sauces and globally-inspired dishes.

Recipes are prepared in the smallest possible batches and as close to service time as possible to ensure peak flavor.

House-made dressings, soups, syrups, sauces and salsas are made fresh with all-natural ingredients.

We serve baked goods made fresh daily in house, or from local artisan bakers.

Daily menus include choices to accommodate a number of dietary preferences and food allergies.

Plant-forward and meat-alternative options are always on the menu.

Hydration stations with seasonal, fresh fruit are available daily.

Healthy menu options are provided and promoted to encourage choices that have a positive impact on our guests’ wellbeing.

Allergen-friendly and gluten-free options can be found on almost every menu.

That includes allergen-friendly and gluten-free pastas too.
