Sustainability · Philadelphia · Since 1997

Good food
upstream.

For nearly three decades we’ve cooked with the seasons and bought from the people who grow them. Sustainability isn’t a program we added — it’s how the kitchens were built.

“A restaurant should leave its region better than it found it.”

— Ellen Yin, Founder & Owner

Our Approach

Three habits,
every kitchen,
every day.

We don’t chase certifications for their own sake. The work below is what our chefs, bakers, and purchasing team already do — this page just puts a name to it.

01 — Minimize Upstream Waste

Buy what we’ll use.
Use what we buy.

Menus are written around what farms actually have, not the other way around. Purchasing runs in tight cycles so product moves through the kitchen instead of sitting in it.

02 — Support a Local Food Economy

Relationships older
than most restaurants.

Our first farm partnership dates to 1997 and is now in its second generation. We pay producers fairly and keep them on the menu year after year.

03 — Thoughtful Menu Design

Whole animal.
Whole grain.
Whole harvest.

Heirloom grains milled in Doylestown become bread at High Street and pasta at Fork. Trim becomes stock, stock becomes sauce.

Who We Buy From

Most of our menu comes
from within a morning’s drive.
