Farm-to-table restaurants serve up thoughtful meals in Austin & San Antonio

Did you know that the average American meal travels 1,500 miles to get from the farm to your plate? That’s why Central Texas restaurants are taking on a new mission to source ingredients more locally from nearby farms and hometown vendors.

For Earth Week, we decided to dig in to see how our UberEATS partner restaurants are embracing this new mantra across Austin and San Antonio. Check out our short list of farm-to-table restaurants offering fresh, thoughtful meals for your enjoyment.

AUSTIN

Cenote

From their delicious breakfast tacos, to their local roasted veggie plates, Cenote uses only naturally raised and hormone free proteins and Texas-sourced produce. Get a taste of Johnson’s Backyard Garden, organic Margarita’s Tortillas, and more when you dine with Cenote. Try their Mango Fields Salad for a taste of fresh veggies and seasonal fruits.

Contigo

With their new lunch menu just rolling out, Contigo is focused on highlighting several local farms link Springdale Farms and Boggy Creek, as well as organic and vegan options too.

Some favorites for a health-conscious lunch would be the Scarlet Runner Beans bowl that includes roasted mushrooms, charred broccoli, escabeche & arugula, and their Roasted Sweet Potato & Kale bowl with apple and anchovy dressing.

Daily Greens

USDA Organic Certified Daily Greens makes it easier to get your dose of green goodness. Their juices are naturally vegan, naturally gluten-free and soy free and are made from raw, organic and fair trade ingredients. They source their produce from family-owned farms just hours from their juicing facility. Not to mention, they taste delicious.

Try the Elevate juice, packed with 4.5 pounds of produce in every bottle.

Hillside Farmacy

Hillside Farmacy prides themselves on thoughtfully-sourced fare, which is reflected in their menu filled with ingredients from local vendors like Strube Ranch, 44 Farms, Bastrop Cattle Co. and Easy Tiger, just to name a few.

We recommend the Hand Cut Fettuccine Bolognese, that also comes with vegan & GF options.

In.gredients

One of the greenest groceries in the country is right here in Austin. Since opening their doors in 2012, In,gredients has sent zero pounds of food waste to the landfill, they support small farms and producers, as well as promote local seasonal eating. Additionally, they give back to the organizations that are working to build a stronger and healthier Austin by raising awareness through in store donations and fundraising events.

Olamaie

This modern Southern food restaurant relies very heavily on their farm community to make those exquisite dishes we all know and love. Try the Smoked Dewberry Hills Farm Chicken Salad, with Boggy Creek Farm and Bluebonnet Lettuces, Animal Farm spring onion and Boggy Creek Farm Radishes.

SAN ANTONIO

Alchemy Kombucha

Alchemy Kombucha’s menu is mainly vegan or vegetarian, but the carnivores are sure to be delighted by their full-bodied flavors. They use the finest ingredients sourced from local Texas farmers, and since some of these are seasonal, the dishes will not look identical each visit but will definitely be fresh, delicious, and Insta-worthy.

Bakery Lorraine

This San Antonio favorite is know for their delicious menu that is constantly changing due to their use of seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers.Why not try their famous Baked Oatmeal, with seasonal fruit and whipped cream, and look out for their new creations every season.

The Cove

The Cove’s philosophy is “Sustainable, Organic and Local”. They buy locally, not just because it provides fresher food, but because they believe it makes for a healthier community. They source from farms where animals are grass-fed and raised without hormones, and most of their produce is grown organically, some of it right at The Cove’s kitchen garden.

Farm to Juice

By sourcing their produce from B. Catalini, a local, family owned produce company, Farm to Juice lives up to its name.In honor of Earth day and to help you cool off and hydrate, try the Sweet Greens juice: a healthy green blend with a touch of sweetness with celery, cucumber, green apple, kale, lemon and pear.

Pharm Table

Pharm Table was voted the  #1 Organic Restaurant in San Antonio by USA Today. They pride themselves on knowing where each of their ingredients come from, sourcing from local Texas farmers and ranchers who practice organic farming methods. Pharm Table is dedicated to making healthy food delicious, and they have succeed. Try their tacos, served with organic non-GMO corn tortillas, with roasted, pickled and raw vegetables, and spreads.

Powerhouse Bakery

This dedicated gluten free bakery showcases the healthiest organic, non-GMO ingredients. Their menu includes sweet options like the Goin’ Nuts over Greek yogurt with organic nuts, dried cherries, chia seeds, sweetened with organic cherry juice and a touch of honey, and savory ones like their dairy free Pulled Pork with Siraracha sautéed red cabbage and served with a hunk of their famous Focaccia bread.
