If you live in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, or California and want to experience local agriculture, just walk into a Chop’t. The specialty salad company lists their local partners right on their home page. Chop’t is also committed to the environment through their use of recycled fiber napkins and paper bags, compostable packaging, and plastic bowls made from recycled water bottles.
Apart from that, Dig Inn is a unique concept in that they foster a very real relationship with their suppliers. The company works directly with farmers in order to procure an offering of seasonal ingredients, which are then crafted into dishes in house. Dig Inn is dedicated to serving mostly vegetables and believes diners should eat family-style, side by side.
