Why is ATRISCO CAFE & BAR a Farm to Restaurant participant?

Owner George Gundrey has direct relationships with 3 different producers who deliver directly to his restaurant, plus he buys quite a bit of local food through wholesalers where he knows where it was raised. He has made an agreement with a farmer to grow lettuce for him and is looking into purchasing local eggs.

Why is buying local important?

"The reasons I buy local food ar because our customers like it and the quality is better. Also, I like being able to check on my producers to see if they are doing what they claim in terms of growing practices."

Who he buys from?

One Straw Farm • Shepherd’s Lamb • Gemini Farm • Talus Wind Ranch (via Sysco) • New Mexico Beef Cooperative (via Pinnacle Meat) • B’s Honey Farm • Delgado Farm (big chile grower down south, purchased via Quality Foods) • other Hatch area chile growers via Quality Foods

What does he buy?

Red Chile • Green Chile • Ground Beef • Stew Meat Beef • Leg of Lamb, Lamb Ribs • Honey • Lettuce (in season) • Tomatoes (in season) • Zucchini (in season) • Cabbage • Carrots
