Honor, MI 49640 For more information, please call 231-326-5444 or email green-cuisine@foodforthought.net Green Cuisine is an expression of Food For Thought`s philosophy. It is our effort to bring more awareness to the benefit of local food and sustainable business practices. Visitors will be able to sample some of the best products of local food and beverage artisans, tour Food For Thought`s organic farm and green buildings as well as socialize, learn and have fun in a beautiful setting. Children welcome. This is a `zero-waste` event. What does `zero-waste` mean? As in all things sustainable `zero-waste` is a process, not a destination. The goal is for all the waste generated from the event to be either reusable, recyclable or compostable. Utensils, drinking cups and plastic bags are made from corn and compostable. Plates are also made from non-bleached recycled content and along with the food scraps are added to our onsite composting piles where we compost 100% of our food waste from our food facility along with approximately 7 tons of cardboard every year. This compost is then used on our organic farm and the organic farms of local farmers that grow crops for us. Last year we had over 800 guests eating, drinking and socializing which resulted in less than one ounce of waste. |
