Minimizing carbon footprint with regular farm visits 🥕🍅
Elk Grove, California, United States
Marie has long been dedicated to environmental stewardship and minimizing her carbon footprint. When Cliff reached out to Sacramento restaurants and chefs to introduce them to his Elk Grove farm, Marie was the sole enthusiast who responded. For almost a decade now, she has been making regular visits to the farm. During these visits, Marie repurposes organic waste from the restaurant and gathers fresh herbs and vegetables to incorporate into her delectable dishes for guests to savor.
