About Us- come meet us!
Our Commitments:
The mission of Table is to create a venue for local, regional, organic and sustainable food that is an alternative to the mass production, industrial food system. We aim to accomplish these goals while connecting our community with farmers, food, and our land through educational and social programs.
Shared Values:
- Economically viable, local and organic farming produces the highest quality food with the least environmental impact.
- Education in agricultural practices, food preparation and consumption has a positive impact on the nutritional health and welfare of the community.
- Conducting environmentally sustainable practices is a business and community responsibility.
Our Efforts:
- A renovation to LEED Standards by Patrick Brennan Architect. The certification process is pending. Work performed included:
Recycling and responsible disposal of demolition waste, Recycled, renewable and local building materials, Energy efficiency and low water consumption, low VOC paints, adhesives and finishes.
- All (to the greatest extent possible) of our packaging is environmentally sensitive.
Most of the containers are compostable (please ask us for the details). We use recycled paper products with as high a post consumer % as possible. The ‘plastics’ are from corn (not for use with hot food!) The utensils are potato starch. Soy based waxed paper and wood pulp cellulose.
- Ceramic serving pieces are locally made by artists, David Hughes and Sally Aldrich.
- Wood counters and tables of Local Black Walnut by Ronny Padovani (also our egg man).
- Glass ornaments by Kathleen Anderson and Judy Calloway.
- Food waste and packaging is collected for composting locally. Other material including paper, glass, plastic and metal is recycled.
