WHAT IS LOCAL, SUSTAINABLE?
Our dishes are all based with delicious local produce from NJ, NY and PA as much as possible. We believe in higher nutritional value and best quality which happens not only by growing organically but also sourcing as close as possible. By sourcing from local farms, you ensure a better quality in taste, nutrition content, and healthier growing practices. Large farms have to use pest management, etc. to keep up with demand. Our farmers are growing the best produce with minimal to 0 pesticides. Once a plant is plucked from it’s life source, the nutrient content begins to deplete. By providing locally grown produce, we are ensuring you more nutrition due to less travel time!
Sustainability means to protect the environment by avoiding practices that deplete natural resources, and thereby support long-term ecological balance. We source as sustainably as possible both at the farms and with our fish resources.

WHAT IS PLANT-BASED/ ARE YOU VEGAN?
The color in your veggies come from vitamins and that flavor…well that is the minerals!
These micro-nutrients are essential to your ENERGY levels and over all health!
We flip the script of your usual menu options by making everything based with these powerful plants. MEAT LOVERS don’t fret! Though every option starts off plant-based, it is just the start!
You can add any of our carefully sourced chicken, eggs, cheese or Fish from Wild Edibles and Lancaster Farms.

*Please note, most dishes are naturally Dairy Free (DF) but if they are not (such as our mac and cheese), we have DAIRY FREE versions of EVERY DISH we make!

HOW LONG WILL YOUR FOOD LAST?
We GUARANTEE a minimum 5 DAY shelf life on all food.

DO YOU HAVE THE NUTRITION INFO?
