Local & Sustainable Partners
We believe supporting our local and regional suppliers not only helps build strong relationships within our community, but also naturally results in fresher, healthier, and better tasting food. Below are some of the partnerships we’re proud to work with.
Double R Ranch
Toppenish, WA
The Double R Ranch is committed to socially responsible business practices, embracing an obligation to eliminate waste and preserve the environment. They source a majority of cattle feed within 150 miles of each feed yard location, and composting is used to recycle cattle waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer for area farmers.
Zoi Greek Yogurt
Auburn, WA
Zoi’s milk (free of synthetic hormones, artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners) is sourced from neighbors in our region who take immense pride in their farms, allowing us to support the economy right where we live. This also contributes to a smaller carbon footprint, since their milk doesn’t have to travel long distances.
Finale’s Gourmet Desserts

Family-owned for more than 35 years, Finale’s crafts gourmet breads, bars, cakes, and cheesecakes by hand in small batches. With a focus on quality ingredients and exceptional service, they’ve built lasting partnerships and a sweet local legacy right here in Lynnwood.
Draper Valley Farms
Mount Vernon, WA
Draper Valley follows a simple guiding principle: "the way nature intended."

Their chicken is locally raised, locally packed and locally available.
