Most of our purveyors are family-owned proprietors who are experts in their field. As the seasons change we count on our purveyors to seek out the freshest items in the marketplace. If they cannot provide us with exceptional products, we find new purveyors.
The Jones Family started The Chef’s Garden sixteen years ago in Huron, Ohio and are a great source for micro-field greens, fresh herbs and English peas, baby leaf spinach, exotic lettuces, white asparagus and root vegetables. Premier Produce in Cleveland is our source for kumquats, blood oranges, Myer lemons, Key limes, Papayas, and varieties of potatoes. The Novotny Farm Market in Vermilion is our source for the local farms. Brian Novotny co-ops with fifteen small family-owned farms throughout the county.
Euro USA in Cleveland supplies us with artisan cheeses, olive oils, vinegars and specialty nuts. Ohio City Pasta in Cleveland is our source for freshly made pasta, The Breadsmith in Lakewood and Tri Beca Bakery in New York City provide us with artisan-made breads. Van Roy Coffee, founded in the 1920’s in Cleveland, custom roasts and blends our coffees.
All of our desserts are made on premise by Chef John D’Amico. With John’s recipes, Country Parlor in North Royalton makes all of our ice creams and sorbets.
It took years to develop strong working relationships with our purveyors and fine-tune our particular specifications. All of these fine purveyors are some of the best in their respective fields and we are blessed to have them as our friends as well.
