The Eat Local Movement at Work


Google prides itself on serving free locally grown food at Café 150, its cafeteria that features dishes made with ingredients grown from within 150 miles of its headquarters. The company has its own organic garden in its main courtyard, along with a weekly seasonal farmers market with local vendors.

Why offer this green employee benefit? “It’s one of those things that keeps our people coming to work,” said Café 150’s executive chef Nate Keller. “We have some of the most passionate people in the world who work here, and we like to keep that passion going with our passion for food and cooking.”
