Austin Third Annual Fundraiser Eat Local Week is sponsored by Edible Austin to benefit Urban Roots. The event kicks off this coming Saturday at Austin Farmers Market on December 5th. Thai Fresh is joining the team for the second year to help raise the money for the event.
Eating local is so much better in so many ways. By eating closer to the source of the food, you save so much energy and resources that goes into shipping, packaging and storing before the food gets to you. I love to shop at the farmers' market. I love to talk to people that grow the good. I enjoy hearing their stories and how they are passionate about what they are doing. I have grown to appreciate their hard working spirits.
When I started selling my food at Sunset Valley Farmers Market 4 years ago, none of my ingredients were local. My stand was next to Amador Farms and Hillside Farms and I started to add ingredients from those farms into my cooking. I thought to myself, this makes so much sense!!!!!
At Thai Fresh, we are committed to eating and cooking as close to the source as possible. As a Thai restaurant, it is difficult to find many of the important ingredients locally. But whenever we can, we will use meats and produce that are raised and grown locally. Everyday, you will find selections of dishes that we rotate. Our menu changes all day long reflecting what is in season and abundant. When you eat at Thai Fresh, you can be sure that 100% of our meats and seafood are from Texas. We will use whatever vegetables in season as much as we can. We are so proud of our farmers and ranchers. Read more about who we buy from on our website.
Shop, eat and cook locally.
