Well howdy there, partner! If ya want to eat healthy and sustainably, there ain’t nothin’ quite like the good ol farm to table approach!
When it comes to dining out, people are becoming more conscious of their food; where it’s sourced from and how it’s produced. This is not surprising considering the rise in Non Communicable diseases in Kenya. More and more people are looking for restaurants that prioritise sustainability, ethical sourcing and social activism. One way to ensure you’re supporting these values is by choosing farm to table restaurants.These establishments prioritise using ingredients from their own farms. They also source from local farmers and suppliers, resulting in fresher, more flavourful meals. In addition, they’re supporting the local economy and reducing the carbon footprint of food transportation.
