We take pride in using local food from farmers practicing sustainable agriculture. When available, chicken is free-range and beef is antibiotic and
hormone-free. We are an owner operated coffee shop/cafe with an award winning chef. We serve organic, fair trade coffee; local, seasonal, and sustainable
food daily. It is our mission to reconnect the food we serve from the farm it came from to the people at our tables. We favor organic and North Carolina grown, but make concessions in both areas in order to highlight other farmers and producers with time-honored methods and very good products. We pride ourselves in being responsible both locally and globally, by recycling, reducing waste, and insuring all disposable products are eco sound. We look forward to exchange between chef/staff and community in order to grow, and to meet the needs of those we serve.
Our Local Farmer Friends: - Goat Lady Dairy - J and S Farm- The Old Mill of Guilford - Brads Family Farm - Rocking F Farm - Homeland Creamery - Bettini Farm - Simple Kneads Bakery - Rothchild’s Farm - Gorilla Grains -
