There was a time, not too long ago, when people didn’t care where their food was grown, how it was grown, or even how far it had to travel before it reached their tables. Now, there’s a growing local food movement that’s changing all of that. Food isn’t just food anymore – we want fresh, delicious produce grown by local farmers. We want to know where our cuts of meat, our gourmet cheeses, and our fresh eggs come from – and how the animals are treated. Simply put, we are becoming locavores, people who prefer to eat locally grown and prepared food.
The local food movement makes sense on many levels – it supports the economic, social, and environmental health of a community. Now, there can be a direct relationship between the producers of food and the consumer. Without the middleman (driven by profit) community agriculture places a greater emphasis on the quality of food, its freshness, and how it’s produced (often organic and more sustainable). Local food also travels a shorter distance, so there are fewer fossil fuels and non-renewable resources used in transportation.
Quality chefs and caterers like Sublime Catering in Colorado specialize in local food. Sublime works with local farmers and businesses to create delicious, healthy cuisine that feeds the body and soul.
“You just can’t beat the freshness of local food,” said Chris Bybee, chef and owner of Sublime Catering. “We always look for the best ingredients for the season, food that’s grown by farmers in the Front Range community, or produced by a local company with a passion for great taste.”
If you are planning a big event in Colorado, think about going local – where the catering is Sublime.
