We Shop Local

Skillet is proud to fill the walk in fridge and freezer with as much Pacific Northwest ingredients as possible.  Whenever we can, we support local businesses that purchase from sustainable farms in the region.  The reason, we love this area for all the home grown food!

Beef: We use natural and sustainable meats from Niman Ranch. A California company focused on sourcing Midwest and Pacific Northwest meats and specialty ingredients from small family farmers using sustainable farming traditions. Their high standards product a higher quality meat.

Produce: We use distributor Charlie’s Produce. They supply us with a full range of conventional, organic and specialty produce. Always fresh and delicious and our go to for great seasonal items.

Bread: We use rustic European breads from Macrina Bakery & Cafe, particularly brioche bread and the Rustic Potato Rolls. Macrina uses Northwest-sourced, natural ingredients and organic grains whenever possible. That commitment to quality shows how much they love baking.

Chicken: We use chicken from the sustainable Draper Valley Farms in Mount Vernon, WA. Their chickens are humanely raised in a stress free environment for a natural and humane method of farming. Humanly raised means that they are free range, with outdoor access and their spacious coop has plenty of light. They give a vegetarian feed to the chickens and never add antibiotics, hormones, steroids, animal fats, gmo’s or preservatives.

Dairy: We use dairy from distributor Medosweet Farms in Kent, WA. They select the finest dairy from local farmers throughout Washington State.
