“David at Blue Plate was amazing to work with! He was always there to answer my never ending questions and making me not feel like a burden. Sadly he wasn't able to be there on our wedding day but Maria filled in and was amazing! We have gotten the most compliments on our food since the wedding. People keep mentioning how it was one of the best meals they've had, not just at a wedding! We keep getting compliments on their staff as well. Our guests were so surprised by how quickly they got everyone through the buffet line and how efficient they were at cleaning up once everyone was done. It's no wonder they keep winning awards!”Read More Testimonials ›
How Long is YOUR Food Chain?
Blue Plate Catering is shortening the distance from the farm to your banquet table!
Blue Plate Catering is dedicated to supporting the economic and environmental well-being of our local community. With this in mind, we make every effort possible to purchase locally-grown meat, dairy and produce from local coops and organizations right here in the Heartland. We are excited that our catering operations can be a source of support for our local farmers and their families. Here are some of the local vendors we work with:
- Porchlight: sauerkraut, curtido, jams, scones, and pancakes.
- Jones Dairy Farm: sausage, bacon, brats are incorporated in our breakfast and picnics.
- Carr Valley: cheeses are included in our Specialty cheese displays.
- Great River Organic Milling: steel cut old-fashioned oatmeal.
Produce:
We are equally excited to team up with Fifth Season Cooperative to provide local produce options year around! The Fifth Season Cooperative is a multi-stakeholder cooperative made up of producers, producer groups, food processors, distributors, and buyers from the Driftless Region. Their members represent all of the key players in the food system at the local level. Their goal is to build a robust regional food system that supports a healthy environment, a strong economy, and thriving communities.
Local fruits and vegetables abound during the summer and fall in Wisconsin. You will find an endless array available for your events. Surprisingly, even in the middle of winter in Wisconsin, there are fresh local produce options available, including Brussels sprouts, daikon radish, carrots, green kale, turnips, parsnips and other root vegetables.
Please contact us at Blue Plate Catering to see how you can incorporate local produce into your next catering event!
