ABOUT Cuisine en Locale

Using local ingredients year-round in Massachusetts is no simple task, and we are often asked why we bother.

The answer strikes to the heart of our company’s mission:

To support the growth of farms and farmers, and increase the value of food in the area where we live, and eat.

It’s a selfish mission, really: we want to eat real food, and we want to offer our family and friends that same opportunity. We are grateful every day for the farmers we buy our food from, and they are grateful for us. It is a simple, solid relationship of which we are proud. We would be honored to include you on the list of patrons who also care to put their money into food value.
