Chipotle To Increase Use Of Local Ingredients

Fast Casual:

Chipotle Mexican Grill has announced that it expects to use more than 10 million pounds of produce from local farms this year, up from its 2010 goal of about 5 million pounds. Chipotle’s local produce will be grown on farms within 350 miles of the restaurants where it will be served.

“Our commitment to serving food made with better ingredients from more sustainable sources is one of the key drivers of our business,” said Steve Ells, founder, chairman and co-CEO of Chipotle. “While sourcing produce locally can be difficult — particularly in regions with short growing seasons — we continue to find like-minded suppliers to allow us to serve this better food.”
