New Year, New Standards: Finding food that is Delicious, Nutritious, and Locally and Ethically SourcedBlog Content

By: Cait Logan | Mar 8, 2024

The way people approach their food is undergoing a noticeable transformation, with a general shift in mindset and a growing awareness of the importance of conscious eating. The surge in interest towards ethically sourced and locally produced ingredients reflects a desire for transparency in the food supply chain. Knowing where your food comes from, how it's grown, and its impact on the environment is becoming a key factor in making informed choices about what we eat.

The shift towards a more mindful and health-conscious lifestyle is also evident in the world of beverages. Low and no ABV cocktails have been on the rise, and the trend has been making its way to cities like Philadelphia, with patrons opting for creative and flavorful spirit-free concoctions over traditional alcoholic options.  Craft non-alcoholic beers are also gaining popularity, offering a flavorful alternative for those who want to enjoy the social aspect of ordering a drink without the alcohol content.

The evolving trends in health and wellness are shaping a culinary landscape that goes beyond New Years resolutions. The focus on conscious eating, supporting local businesses, and choosing nutrient-dense, ethically sourced ingredients is creating a more sustainable and mindful approach to food.
