OUR PHILOSOPHY
Here at Arugula, our passion is fresh, healthy, and delicious food. In order to meet the high expectations for our ingredients, we source as many ingredients as we can from our own farm, and other local farms and suppliers.
When produce is harvested early, it's robbed of its full life on the vine. When it's picked before total ripeness (for shipping purposes), fruits and vegetables don't reach their maximum nutritional value. In the interest of health and environmental efforts, we have made it a goal to use as many local suppliers as possible.
Our beef comes from Crowfoot J Ranch, and our preservative-free tortillas from Los Reyes Tortillas. We purchase produce from Eddington Farms and other local farms whenever possible.
Waste isn't always a bad thing. At Arugula, we take our kitchen scraps and bring them to our farm. Once at the farm, we put them in raised beds with leaves and other natural foliage to create a compost pile. This is not only keeping it out of landfills, but also adding nutrients to the soil.
FROM SCRATCH
OUR VISION
In addition to our farm fresh philosophy, everything at Arugula is made from scratch. Our chicken and beef broths, pasta noodles and sauces, breads and salad dressings are all made in-house to ensure the highest quality, and best tasting food on your plate.
Our dishes satisfy a variety of diets, and palates. We offer vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free entrees every day.
Good comes from everywhere, and we want to be part of it.
Our chef, Marcel Gutierrez wants to change the stigma that surrounds school lunches. Currently Arugula provides lunch for Alturas Academy. These lunches are based on the same principles rooted in Arugula. Fresh, nutritional food should never be compromised. Even at school.
The school lunch program is a service we want to expand in the coming years.
