Every day, we make decisions that we feel can best serve our world, through our buying of sustainable foods, our fair wages and health insurance for our treasured staff, our commitment to help to fill the needs of our community, and the respect for our earth and for everyone with whom we share it. We donate 10% of our profits to charities. Presently, we are working with The Growing Connection, a United Nations Food and Agriculture project to help alleviate world hunger by teaching the art of growing food. The first two schools we are working with are the Barnard School and the Jepson School, two wonderful magnate schools in New Haven. We feel that by teaching the art and pleasures of gardening, everyone, regardless of income, will have access to wholesome, fresh foods. During the winter months, we'll grow herbs and tender greens indoors in Earthboxes, and as the weather warms, we'll bring the boxes outdoors and grow both in and out of the boxes. Our goal is to encourage children to start vegetable gardens in their back yards and to learn the many lessons from growing; nurturing, nutrition, commitment, history, science, and math, and entrepreneurship,  while enjoying delicious and wholesome foods, fresh from the garden.

We work hard to buy sustainable and organic ingredients because we think you're worth it and because we all depend on our future and this requires caring for our earth in every way possible.
 
Our take out cold cups and our take out food boxes are completely compostable, and are printed with soy ink, and we've always used paper cups rather than Styrofoam, and paper bags rather than plastic for our take out foods.
 
We eliminated trans fats from our menus in 2001, replacing shortenings in our pie crusts with organic and trans fat free and our pie crusts remain tender yet flaky, the way you like them.
And, as we continue to learn, we will continue to make improvements to help protect our future generations.

Of course, we could not work at our mission; our love, without the ongoing support from our dedicated and amazing staff, our beloved customers, our farmers and suppliers, our treasured community partner, People's United Bank and Yale University office of New Haven and State Affairs, who always come through with sponsorship of our major fundraisers that benefit the children and families in our city. Truly, we are all in this -- together.

If we can ever change the world, and I know we can, it will be through our good work - Together!

Peace,

Claire and Frank Criscuolo
