Modmarket Welcomes New Farm to Its Table, Enhances Flavor Profile Across Menu Scarborough Farms is now supplying the farm fresh eatery with select greens
DENVER (Sept. 8, 2015) A new farm has joined Modmarket ’s table and is now providing the eatery’s eight Colorado restaurants with three different varieties of greens, including spring mix, arugula and spinach. Californiabased Scarborough Farms is a 20yearold familyrun farm that follows smallscale, custom farming methods to ensure fresh, justharvested gourmet products. The farm began providing Modmarket with the new greens in late August, and, according to the restaurant, has enhanced the flavor of its entire menu.
“We've been infatuated with Scarborough Farms’ greens ever since we first tasted them on a research trip to California three years ago,” explains Chef Nate Weir, director of culinary operations for Modmarket. “So when the opportunity arose to partner with Scarborough, we jumped at the chance.
“Their spring mix, arugula and spinach is incredibly vibrant and flavor packed the kind of fresh flavor that jumps off the plate. We feel good knowing everything is grown with smallscale European agricultural techniques that sustainably take care of the land. “With fresh greens at the heart of so much of our food, I believe our whole menu has gotten a big boost in flavor as the result of partnering with this great company,” adds Weir. Scarborough greens are currently only in Modmarket’s Colorado locations and will be incorporated in Texas as additional restaurants are added in the market. ###
