At Salvatore’s, we believe that local tastes better, it’s good for the economy, and there is a certain joy in knowing the folks who’s food we use in our creations. That’s why we support family farms. Many pizza restaurants will claim that they use the freshest possible ingredients. It is a very over-used statement. You don’t get the freshest items from the back of a SYSCO 18 wheeler, trucked all the way from Mexico. The freshest produce comes from Wisconsin family farms.
Our Local Partners:
Harmony Valley is a family owned, diversified farm with over 30 years of experience producing high quality, organic vegetables and berries. They are located in an isolated valley in southwestern Wisconsin. Their silt loam fields are high in organic matter, humus and biological life. They receive green cover crops, generous amounts of compost and rock powders. Their vegetables are grown and harvested with care and immediately cooled and kept refrigerated. All products are certified by the Midwest Organic Services Association.
