Why Down to Earth

Local Ingredients, Local Values

In addition to being the best personal chefs in Seattle, Down to Earth Cuisine adheres to a set of deeply-held values. We do our best to contribute to the beautiful natural ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest along with the local Seattle community. When you hire our catering services, it comes with the added benefit of goodwill, knowing that a portion of your spending will serve a handful of great causes.

Reducing plastic waste

We Reduce Plastic Waste

Our chefs are incredibly conscious of plastic use in the food preparation industry. When shopping, we use paper or reusable bags and purchase products in glass containers whenever possible. Our entire mantra focuses on reducing plastic waste and our carbon footprint during meal preparation while adequately disposing of organic and recyclable waste.

Protecting wild orca

We Protect Salmon & Wild Orcas Populations

We donate a portion of every dollar we earn to planting trees through One Tree Planted. This organization plants and grows trees in the PNW to restore critical habitats for Chinook Salmon, which helps Wild Orcas. Planting trees also helps offset the carbon footprint associated with preparing meals and traveling to and from your home.

To date, we’ve donated 2,985 trees, and your business will help us to plant 

Donating meals locally

We Donate Meals Locally

We’ve donated hundreds of meals to frontline healthcare workers and shelters in the Seattle area and will continue to do so as long as we’re in business. We love providing our clients with delicious meals, but there’s nothing more rewarding than feeding those who work hard for our health and safety and those in need.
