Clover Food Lab is a restaurant chain founded by MIT alum and environmentalist Ayr Muir. Clover's mission is to address global warming by building a better food future. With the help of raving fans, it has expanded from a food truck in 2008 to 11 restaurants serving thousands daily in the greater Boston area. We clean. We chop, cook, season. We make friends of our customers. We clean some more. It sounds simple, but what we’re doing is something beautiful and new. We source from local farmers to an unbelievable level, far more than anybody in our industry. And that keeps dollars in our community. We treat our food with respect, much of it is organic, we use no chemicals to flavor or “enhance” our food, no preservatives, minimal added fat and sugar and salt, no freezers. And that means our food improves the health of our customers. We want food to taste the way it should. We’re hoping you’re here because you love food too, and because you want to be part of something important. Interested in working with us?

The desire to build a brewery was about more than just making beer, it was about creating a way of life and building a community with which to share experiences. Trillium Brewing was founded in March of 2013 by JC and Esther Tetreault with the desire to create a New England Farmhouse-inspired experience through the lens of craft beer. Launched with three employees and the support of family, friends, and community, our little brewery located at 369 Congress Street in Boston’s then-sleepy Fort Point neighborhood has grown to a team of nearly 300. Every member of our organization has incredible drive and purpose, working passionately each day to elevate the quality of the Trillium experience. Beer is at the center of everything we do, and a few core values have always driven the approach to our portfolio: the desire to continue pushing boundaries of experimentation with education, keeping a focus on hospitality by attempting to offer a wide range of styles for a diverse audience, and keeping our team excited and always-learning. With hundreds of unique offerings available each year, we take pride in the diversity and breadth of beer that we produce. Our philosophy with food aims to enforce our New England roots. Working closely with more than 30 local vendors, the restaurant at Trillium Fort Point shines the spotlight on nearby agricultural systems with the ultimate goal of responsibly growing fresh fruit and produce at our Connecticut farm. Behind every beer poured and each plate served is an intense focus on community. From carbon dioxide recapture and reuse at our production brewery, to using local, sustainably-farmed ingredients for our menu whenever possible, it’s imperative that we minimize our footprint and do our part to ensure that the future is brighter because of it.
