Shopping at  Tastes Makes a Really Really Big Difference

For our loved ones,

our community,

and our planet

Carbon Reduction

You've helped reduce food distribution emissions from 1400 to 20 miles because you bought local.

Supporting your health and local agriculture

You'll be feeding your loved ones food that is jam packed with nutrition because it was harvested just hours ago.

100% Natural or Organic

Your support of farmers who do not use chemicals and engage in sustainable farming means the prevention of land being depleted of nutrients and ridden with chemicals.

Farmer and Small Business Sustainability

Your purchases support small businesses that are dependent on every single sale coming in. We provide what they need to thrive including grants and a groundbreaking revenue model that will finally generate solid financial growth for these hardworking folks.

Zero Waste

We convert perishing food into prepared meals and donate net profits to local charitable organizations. Buying a Tàstès prepared meal means you're making a difference to someone's life somewhere.
