Salt & Time Competitors

Tender Greens is a group of restaurants where super talented chefs get to run each kitchen like their own—and that’s why we call it a chef’s kitchen. It’s the kind of comfort food chefs love to cook for themselves and their families, for far less than you would expect.

We believe in organic dairy as a force for good. Twenty-five years after our founding, we’re carrying the torch for the food revolution that started in our backyard and inspired our founders. We’re still using it to cultivate goodness in the people, land and communities around us. We are an organic cheese producer, an artisanal cheese distributor and a retailer of specialty food products. Based in Petaluma, CA, Cowgirl Creamery makes cheese from organic milk supplied by three small farms in Marin and Sonoma Counties. We know firsthand the power of organics and its role in sustainable agriculture to support healthy communities and delicious food. We believe that the secret ingredient to delicious cheese starts with the land. That’s why we partner with local dairies in Marin and Sonoma counties to source the organic, pasture-based, cow’s milk for everything we make. Through Tomales Bay Foods, our distribution arm, supports and promotes artisan cheesemaking and sustainable agriculture, offering over 200 artisan and farmstead cheeses from all over California, America and Europe through their website and the Cowgirl Creamery retail locations.

Good food should be fun and we strive everyday to create an environment where our customers enjoy being at The Meat Hook as much as we do.
