SUSTAINABLE STYLE IS IN THE BAG

THE FOODBAR leads Valley restaurants in the environmental movement. From our servers uniformed in 100% organic cotton, to serving utensils that are 100% biodegradable, the same eco-friendly focus on food that packs our menu with natural goodness carries over into sustainable alternatives in every facet of 
THE FOODBAR.

Addressing the most ubiquitous environmental offender–the plastic bag (the United States disposes more than 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually), THE FOODBAR offers a stylish canvas shopping tote that sells for just $4.99, with $1 of each purchase benefiting a local Seed to Table program.

THE FOODBAR canvas tote is functional, lightweight, and durable and is destined to become your favorite accessory. Plus, 50 cents will be donated to Seed to Table from every purchase of $5 or more when the tote is used.

The Seed to Table concept comes from Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse and creator of “California Cuisine,” as part of her Edible Schoolyard project to create garden-based curriculums in schools, with a focus on fresh food, nutrition and culinary skills.  With the support of the Slow Food Phoenix chapter, the Desert Marigold School’s Seed to Table program is serving as a local model, with a one-acre planted garden providing a hands-on approach to teach kids about soil health, composting  and something as simple as what food looks like when it comes out of the ground. The projects still to be funded include a shed, gardening equipment and the construction of an indoor/outdoor kitchen where kids can learn the value of freshness and how to prepare and cook the produce to maximize flavor and nutrition.
