We truly are a green company.

In today’s restaurant world, there have been major strides to not only raise awareness, but to create less of an imprint on the Earth by using products that are easily recyclable or biodegradable. As part of The Green Chicago Restaurant Co-Op, City Provisions will constantly strive to do everything possible to create less of an imprint and be Eco-Friendly.

By using corn, and potato, based disposables, implimenting a recycling program ( both in our kitchen and at off-premise events), along with working with local purveyors, we are at least taking a small bite of what is potentially a larger issue. Although lately being green seems to be more of a trend and a marketing ploy, we believe it to be more of a philosophy and lifestyle.

Like a vegetarian who may wear leather shoes, however, we need to choose our battles. Will everything we do, in every aspect of our business, better the environment? Maybe not. What we can do with our day-to-day operations, and how we use the products available, and, in turn, make them available to our clients, will hopefully spread, and help to make a difference.

Our local vendor list grows with our business. We are proud to serve Nicole's breads (Chicago), Dietzler Farms Beef (Elkhorn, Wisconsin), Prairie Pure Cheeses (Belvidere, IL), and Faith's Farm pork products and eggs (Bonfield, Illinois). All of our seafood is obtained by Organic and Sustainable farms throughout the world.

We will commit to constantly seeking new and improved products for our business and to source out ways to become sustainable and eco-friendly. We will also commit to sharing that information with our clients and colleagues.
