The Power of Fresh Ingredients and Local Sourcing

At Forage Kitchen, we believe in being as transparent as possible about our ingredients. A major part of our ingredients comes from local sourcing partnerships. How does philosophy shape your dining experience? Let's see. 

Forage Kitchen’s Commitment to Fresh, Local Ingredients

Fresh produce, Wisconsin-made cheeses, and high-quality ingredients—sourced locally—make every dish count. Our approach reflects the belief that food should nourish both the body and the planet. When you choose a bowl or wrap  from Forage Kitchen, you’re choosing nutritional value and quality.

Local sourcing isn’t just fresh, it's a sustainable practice that reduces our carbon footprint and minimizes waste. That’s where Forage Kitchen becomes a part of today's conscious eaters’ dining movement. We rotate our menu seasonally to ensure you get the best of each season’s harvest. 

This is a big reason why our fans keep coming back again and again.
