If Intel is inside, and we are inside Intel, then????




Boistfort Valley Farm recently spent the afternoon rubbing elbows with the staff at the Intel cafeteria in Dupont. We were invited by Executive Chef Kris Kamp to spend the day displaying our produce, and talking about the farm and food with Intel's staff and employees. The cafeteria is run by Bon Appetit and as part of their eat local challenge we shared the cafeteria with a local rancher and hundreds of Intel employees.






Kris and his kitchen staff were courteous and generous to a fault. The employees at this facility are spoiled rotten when it comes to lunch. Kris's eye for presentation and commitment to using the best ingredients are worlds away from what one might think of when using the word cafeteria. He handles his kitchen with the skill and grace of a true professional. It was a joy to watch this team work, and an even greater joy to see the delight the diners took in their meal.







Thanks for the opportunity Kris.......

Just came across this post. As an employee at this Intel site, I'm thrilled that Kris is supporting local farms like Boistfort in their food service program. I was also pleased with the opportunity to participate in last summer's CSA with Intel as a drop location. I'm signing up again this year!
