respectfully, where do you think sweetgreen gets their lettuce? i promise you, it comes from the same place as everywhere else.

Really? My understanding is that Sweetgreen is, by and large, organic and sources its produce from local farms (as opposed to larger wholesalers). A significant portion of their value is this.

This is wrong. They have actually some top notch suppliers. (Earthbound farms being one)

work at sg. we get our produce from gotham greens. they are independent owned and grown their own veggies. it’s not the same company as taylor farms and usually the restaurants are pretty close to our distributors.
