Savory Cuisines Brings “Green Cuisine” to Gaiam
Savory Cuisines, the leading catering company in Boulder, has been working for the past 6 years to make the catering industry more sustainable and eco-friendly. Last week they moved into the corporate arena, opening a corporate cafeteria at Gaiam, a company offering sustainable living solutions and green products to clients.
Working hand in hand with Gaiam’s mission, “To create a force for positive change…by giving people a choice of a lifestyle that is healthy and life enhancing,” Savory created a “Green Cafeteria.” Using all local and organic products, Savory Cuisines is able to bring a fresh the “Farmers Market” directly to work.
Although Gaiam and Savory work to bring the lowest cost lunch options to their employees and clients, using top of the line produce, meats, and beverages, does increase the cost. “Organic products usually cost 10% to 40% more than similar priced conventionally produced products.” Organic produce is produced on a smaller scale, and due to centralized production, there is an increase price in shipping to regional markets.
Both Savory Cuisines and Gaiam are working to eventually bridge the price gap between the organic and conventional market, but without consumer support, this isn’t possible.
So next time on your lunch break, when you are craving something healthy, delicious, and fresh, head down to the Savory Cuisines Cafeteria, and have a relaxing, and nourishing lunch.
