Couteaux Review Farm Initiative
The Couteaux Review Farm Iniative was started by the Couteaux Board of Farming Relations as a way to help bridge the gap between local purveyors and restaurants with the availability of a new database of local suppliers and their local-grown foods. Restaurant managers and chefs will have access to the user-friendly database, which will serve as a centralized catalog of regional suppliers and their available products. The project is designed to enhance and promote the collaboration between restaurants and local farmers in an organized and user-friendly manner.
