FARM TO RESTAURANT DELIVERS is a local food delivery system launched by the Santa Fe Alliance through funding from a two-year USDA grant. The Santa Fe Alliance works with regional food producers to provide local product to Santa Fe restaurants (and caterers) via a value-chain process. This distribution entity is responsible for all ordering, invoicing, payments, delivery and any problem solving that occurs. The distribution entity preserves the identity of each food producer from each product sold to restaurants.

Our intention is that the delivery system complements the needs of the farmer and restaurant and facilitate an easy, accessible and mutually beneficial relationship between them to achieve the goal of providing high quality products, produced sustainably by regional food producers to Santa Fe restaurant customers.

This service allows for restaurant who previously did not have the resources to purchase local to obtain farm-fresh food directly to their kitchen door.

To obtain this service, contact: Nina Yozell-Epstein, Farm to Restaurant Delivers Coordinator, f2rdelivers@santafealliance.com, 505-717-9140

“The (F2R) staff were super easy to work with and understanding of our needs as a restaurant.” -Alea Jensen, Chef and Co-owner of Louie’s Corner Cafe
