SEASONAL MENUS What is Local and Sustainable? TSSC sources most of its ingredients from local farmers who practice sustainable farming methods. This generally means the crops and animals are raised by small, family-owned farms located within the Midwest who can deliver the freshest ingredients, allowing a shorter period of time between farm and table. TSSC is committed to using the highest quality, seasonal ingredients in each of its menu selections and because we are By Design, TSSC will also source organic crops and proteins as your budget allows. Using local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients is more expensive than sourcing them from a global market. Because TSSC is not large enough to source all of its ingredients directly from the farms on its own, we participate in a “food hub” using professsionals who seek out the freshest and most delicious ingredients and then distributes them to local restaurants and caterers. We have made every attempt to keep menu prices low while still serving your guests exceptional menus. Support our local farmers when you choose to have TSSC meet all of your catering needs.

Why Seasonal? TSSC believes in celebrating the food when entertaining guests. Menus do not have to be flavorless, and TSSC chooses to work with ingredients during their prime to extract the most flavor and make your event shine. In the Midwest, we are graced with numerous local farms who care about the quality of the crops and animals they raise – the options are endless. And even though is seems like Winter most of the time in Minnesota, we are also graced with four distinct seasons resulting in rich land prime for growing. We hope you find this guide useful in planning your event. Remember TSSC is By Design, so if you have some favorite dishes or ingredients that you don’t see here, just ask and our Chef will provide some suggestions.
