Founded in 2007, Sweetgreen is a destination for delicious food that’s both healthy for you and aligned with your values. We source local and organic ingredients from farmers we know and partners we trust, supporting our communities and creating meaningful relationships with those around us. We exist to create experiences where passion and purpose come together. Sweetgreen's mission is positioned to align with your values -- not just written as something they believe. We love the inclusive language they use in their statement, letting us know that they're all about connecting their growing network of farmers growing healthy, local ingredients with us -- the customer -- because we're the ones who want more locally grown, healthy food options. Their mission to connect people is what makes this statement so strong. And that promise has gone beyond their website and walls of their food stops: The sweetgreen team has made strides in the communities where they've opened stores as well. www.anthonyharper.co.nz
