We work with the local farmers, vintners, cheesemakers, chefs, and oystermen we love.
Our Commitment to Our Friends and Purveyors
We are part of a local community that creates delicious, fresh, healthy food.
Collectively, we sustain the Puget Sound's artisanal producers. At Orchard Kitchen, we strive to showcase the best ingredients of the season with what we find delicious and inspiring from our local area. Fortunately, Whidbey Island and the Pacific Northwest many great producers. We have a local cheesemonger, coffee roaster and lots of farms that help us keep our "field-to-fork" promise. We couldn't do what we do without them!
You will find a shout-out to our key purveyors below.
It’s important to us that you know where we source the ingredients for the food you will be eating when you dine with us. Most of our produce comes from our own Orchard Farm, but we don’t grow lemons or chocolate! This means we regularly supplement our bounty with products from other purveyors.
It is important for you to know who they are.
The food decisions you make impact both our culture and our economy. That’s why we have listed our purveyors below. They appear in our list based on their distance from our restaurant. We have included links to their websites. Many of them operate farm stands, storefronts or online stores. We encourage you to explore their retail offerings and support them directly.
Thank you to the many local farmers, ranchers, and other purveyors who carefully, skillfully, and thoughtfully bring us the ingredients that elevate everything we serve.
