From Farm to Fork – Fairmont Goes Fresh

The first hotel company to formally commit to using, wherever possible, sustainable, locally sourced and organically grown products as part of everyday food service operations, menus across the Fairmont portfolio reflect a focus on fresh cuisine. Fairmont has taken the proactive step of reviewing its purchasing and food sourcing practices to see in which areas more sustainable choices can be incorporated, both at a hotel and a corporate level.
 
Fairmont's Green Partnership encourages guests to think green when traveling and offering healthful and delicious menu choices that highlight organic wines, local purveyors and on-site herb gardens is a natural extension.  Consumers today are increasingly interested in where their food is sourced and how it is produced, and Fairmont menus provide those sources by highlighting local, organic ingredients and the purveyors who produce them. Fairmont Hotels & resorts also offers organic or biodynamic wines from producers such as Bonterra Vineyards, the world’s leading producer of wines made from certified organically grown grapes.
 
Many Fairmont properties also offer innovative guest experiences such as winemaker’s dinners, Shop with the Chef excursions, and even trips to the local farms themselves.
 
Fairmont has also moved to eliminate all artificial trans fat from dining offerings.
