Chipotle Lures Locavores, Sources Produce Locally
Chipotle Mexican Grill is once again breaking from the fast-food model.
The Denver-based chain known for its clean flavors and burly burritos is pledging to use a set amount of local produce at each of its more than 730 restaurants around the country — when produce is in season.
This summer, Chipotle is purchasing twenty-five percent of at least one produce item for each of its stores from small and midsize farms situated within 200 miles of the store.
