Historically considered an angelic plant with magical powers of protection
and healing, today the angelica herb is used medicinally and holistically
to strengthen a person's resistance to many toxins and weaknesses.
At Angelica Kitchen, we strive to evoke the plant's healing tradition,
and are proud to share it's queenly name. |

Supporting our Growers and Producers

Angelica
Kitchen is a nutritionally based restaurant. We prefer
to deal directly
with
our purveyors, artisans, and farmers, and are
committed to eliminating the middleman. Direct connections,
proven through years of experience, assure the quality,
vitality,
and freshness of the food and enables us to provide wholesome
seasonal meals. Introducing lesser known
ingredients such as sea vegetables, heirloom beans, and
ancient grains to the menu, exposes these nutritionally
beneficial foods to our guests. Our goal is to feed people
real, whole foods daily.

Our
first priority is to nurture deep roots in the farming community economically
through our buying power. By purchasing consistently
and in great quantity, we support the small diversified
family farmer's ability to sustain a rural lifestyle which we feel is
the antidote to corporate industrial agriculture, organic
or not. Buying local makes it possible for Angelica
Kitchen to maintain close working relationships with its
suppliers, trading basic information and educating each
other. The delightful result of this policy is that
our customers get the best of the best from the suppliers
in freshness and vitality! |

to you less than forty eight hours after harvest. In addition,
