Fueling A Sustainable Future
We don’t just talk about sustainability - we take action, because we believe that creating a better world for generations to come starts today.
Working Toward Zero Waste
Collaborative Composting
We work with {INSERT COMPOSTING PARTNER} to collect organic materials—including food waste and compostable service items such as napkins and wooden stir sticks—to be composted into useable, nutrient-rich soil amendments.
Proactive Prevention
We use tracking and forecasting tools to proactively identify food waste trends in order to alter our preparation accordingly.
Showcasing Our Local Partner Relationships
Eating Made Easy Dining sources food from many local farmers, growers, and distributors. Our partners change throughout the year depending on seasonality and availability.
Blue Hills Orchard - Wallingford, CT
Blue Hills Orchard has been owned and operated by the Henry family since 1904. Located on the northern slope of Sleeping Giant Mountain, the orchard covers over 300 acres with 250 acres in apple production and another 30 plus in peaches, plums and nectarines.
J. Foster's Ice Cream - Avon, CT
Using the best local dairy is only part of what makes J. Foster Ice Cream the best. We use pure vanillas from Madagascar and Tahiti, imported cocoas (we make all of our own chocolate bases), fresh roasted nuts (roasted in house), and premium in-season fruits to create ice creams, gelatos, sorbets and yogurts unequaled in quality and taste.
All of our products are made in small batches, and we minimize the amount of air whipped into our ice cream. The result is an ice cream that is denser, richer in flavor, creamier, and tastier than our competitors.
Age matters. We make our products on-demand, in our shop in Avon. We only produce enough supply to last a few days, that’s why the ice cream you get will always be fresh and scrumptious.
