Good for the Earth
Locally sourced, organic produce
By creating relationships with local farmers and growers, Choicelunch is in a unique position to be able to offer the locally sourced, organic fruits and vegetables our kids deserve. In California, we are blessed with abundantly fertile land and a great climate, and we use this to our advantage by sourcing our produce as close to home as possible.
Have you heard of the Dirty Dozen? It is a list of the 12 most contaminated crops compiled by the Environmental Working Group. We use our best efforts to provide only pesticide-free fruits and veggies in our fresh produce offering from this list of the most chemically-laced produce.
Compostable program is as waste-free as possible
Choicelunch spent years searching for, and ultimately creating compostable meal trays which could stand up to our tests and meet our expectations. We led the industry in introducing 100% compostable meal containers for all of our hot and cold menu items. Our hand-cut fresh fruits and vegetables come in our own compostable ‘baggies,’ and we serve compostable utensils for all of our meals. We can even customize your schools’ lunch program by modifying our snack and beverage program to include only compostable items!*
Award-winning Green Business
After close collaboration with the Bay Area Green Business Program, Choicelunch is a Certified Green Business. The process of becoming a Certified Green Business involved in-depth audits of all aspects of our day-to-day operations—from product sourcing to utility usage to waste management.
*Note that we cannot guarantee that the packaging are acceptable in all municipal food composting programs.
