It matters where our food comes from!
Committed to reducing our environmental impact, Jayne’s Gourmet brings an eco-friendly approach to the world of events. Challenging the industry that produces vast amounts of waste, we provide truly green services to improve the surroundings in which we live.
We recognize we have a responsibility to consider our environmental and social impact at all levels of the organization and to guarantee that best practice is incorporated into all operational decisions. This responsibility extends beyond the boundary of our immediate premises and includes the way we work with suppliers, contractors and other intermediaries.
As the company continues to move forward into the future, our team is always learning about, experimenting with, and integrating new methods to make exceptional food in the most ethical & environmentally friendly way possible.
Here is our Action Plan:
• We follow as best we can the 100 mile market philosophy by purchasing grass fed over grain fed meat, ethically raised fish and organic produce from vendors who have demonstrated sustainable practices.
• We encourage our clients to incorporate more plant based items into their menu planning.
• We use china for all food presentation and events and use biodegradable products made from corn husks and palm, which composts.
• We source wine and beer locally and encourage our clients to use tap water or glass bottled water.
• Our goal to limit our carbon footprint extends to how we handle food waste and excessive food products in a thoughtful fashion. Whenever possible we donate leftover food to local shelters.
• We compost and recycle all food scraps.
