Sustainable and organic food is becoming more and more
popular. For example, you might not know that TGI Friday's
serves hamburgers from antibiotic-free, hormone-free
source verified Angus cattle! Read on for other sustainable
sources...
Chipotle
The fast-food, burrito chain restaurant
serves Niman Ranch pork in its burritos. This pork meets
the AWI Animal Husbandry standards that require animals
to be raised both humanely and sustainably.
Farmers
Diner
Located in Barre, Vermont, this diner strives
to emphasize the importance of buying locally - about
64% of the food ingredients are produced by farmers
within 70 miles of the diner. A national network of
Farmers Diners is in the planning stages.
Organic
Bouquet
Did you know that flowers are one of the crops that
have the most pesticides sprayed on them? Because of
this, the majority of workers at large flower farms
suffer with health problems. And when you put your nose
into your flowers and breathe deeply, you are not just
breathing in the flowers' scent. That's all changing
with Organic Bouquet, an online organic flower delivery
service that has also launched the Veriflora
sustainable certification program.
Song
Delta's low-price airline, Song, includes meals that
are made from organic ingredients, with some from small,
family farms. (Food is not included with the price of
a ticket.)
TGI Friday's
Though not advertised, Friday's serves hamburgers
from antibiotic-free, hormone-free source verified Angus
cattle.
