From Farm to Table: Our Commitment to Local and Sustainable Sourcing

At CCSL, we believe that the quality of the food we provide is a reflection of our values, and that sourcing from local farms and producers is the best way to ensure that our food is fresh, nutritious, and supports the local economy.

Our commitment to sustainability means that we take great care to reduce our environmental impact wherever possible. This includes sourcing ingredients that are in season, reducing waste, and using eco-friendly packaging.

By sourcing locally, we are able to support small-scale farmers and producers in our community, providing them with a reliable market for their products. This not only helps to sustain local agriculture but also helps to promote food security and resilience in the face of climate change.

Our commitment to local and sustainable sourcing also ensures that we are able to offer a diverse range of dishes that are tailored to the season and the local community's tastes. Meaning that our menu is always changing and evolving, offering our customers a unique culinary experience that is rooted in the local culture and environment.

We believe that sourcing our ingredients locally not only supports local farmers and businesses, but it also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food long distances. When we purchase ingredients from local farmers, we're also supporting sustainable agriculture practices that help to protect our environment and promote long-term food security.

In recent years, the concept of "from farm to table" has become increasingly popular, as consumers become more aware of the impact that their food choices have on the environment and local communities. At our company, we take this concept seriously, and we're committed to sourcing our ingredients from local and sustainable sources. At its core, it represents a shift away from the industrialised food system that has dominated the global food supply for the past several decades. But why is from farm to table better, and what are the benefits of this approach to food sourcing?


farm to table means fresher, more nutritious food. When food is sourced locally, it doesn't need to be transported long distances, which means it can be harvested at peak ripeness and delivered to consumers quickly. This results in food that is not only fresher but also contains more nutrients than food that has been transported long distances.

In addition to being fresher and more nutritious, from farm to table food is also more flavorful. Locally sourced food often has a unique taste that reflects the climate, soil, and other environmental factors specific to a particular region. This means that eating locally sourced food can be a rich and rewarding culinary experience.

When food is sourced from local farmers and producers, it supports the local economy by keeping money circulating within the community. This creates jobs and stimulates economic growth, which can be especially important in rural areas where farming is a significant part of the local economy.

Sourcing food locally can help to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting food long distances. This can have a positive impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which are a major contributor to climate change. It also supports small-scale farmers and producers who may be practicing organic or regenerative farming methods, which can have a positive impact on the environment.

From farm to table represents a shift towards a more sustainable, ethical, and flavourful food system. By supporting local farmers and producers, we can create a healthier, more vibrant food system that benefits everyone – from farmers and consumers to the environment and local economies.

By committing to local and sustainable sourcing, we're able to offer our customers high-quality meals that are fresh, nutritious, and support our local economy. We're proud to partner with local farmers and businesses who share our commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices.
