Quality Sourcing for Optimal Flavor

Root and Stem knows that a Caprese salad with hothouse tomatoes and mass-produced mozzarella cannot possibly compare to the simple bright acidity of an in-season heirloom tomato and locally-made, hand-pulled mozzarella. We believe in letting the lush flavor profiles of seasonal produce speak to our clients’ palates, and using our skill and expertise to provide tasteful refinement of those flavors.

Fresh

Everything we serve is guaranteed to be handmade, fresh, and from scratch. You won’t see any big box deliveries to our office; rather, let our vendor team of local farmers, artisans, and butchers provide the highest quality of goods to serve your guests.
