The goal of Pastoral Plate is to bring people together so that we can act collectively to influence the quality of our food, and work to improve the functioning of our local food economy. Why not build our own distribution chain, take an active part in the creation of our food, support the local farmer, and eat some of the best food on earth? Not only is this possible, but for us it’s also been a
fulfilling alternative to the way we think about and contribute to how our food is produced. Pastoral Plate is about taking an assertive stance when it comes to food. It’s about…
Discovering that traditionally raised meats taste better and are healthier than industrially raised meats. Realizing that this type of food is very accessible in the Bay Area. Understanding that we can contribute directly to sustaining a holistic and balanced way of agriculture and life. Realizing that these farms exist in the Bay Area and that farmers are willing to enter into a direct relationship with the consumer. Learning to cook traditional cuts. Forming a community that wants to have fun cooking and eating.
