Product Criteria
We've compiled a list of product criteria for the type of items we typically carry for our vendors. If you are interested in supplying products to us at Earthly Gourmet, please mind the following:
100% Plant-Based
Our products are 100% Plant-Based and free of Animals and their by-products (including but not limited to): mammal flesh, gelatin, dairy milk, dairy butter, chicken or other animal eggs, bones, feathers, fish and other aquatic animals, bugs, bee pollen, and honey.
Non GMO, Gluten & Allergen Free
The restaurants and stores we service often cater to many customers with gluten intolerances and other food sensitivities. We do our best to carry products that are able to be consumed by anyone and everyone.
Local/ Regional/ Sustainable Preferred
Products made locally/regionally directly support the workers of our local community/country. We want to promote growth and more sustainable daily choices for consumers. Vegan products are typically a more sustainable choice overall as they reduce the environmental footprint caused by animal agriculture.
Independently Owned Business Preferred
We currently carry several gourmet, vegan products produced by small / independent business owners that don’t have the means to self distribute. Purchasing these products help support the financial growth of individuals over big business.
Ethically Sourced
Products must be ethically sourced: human labor workers are paid a living wage and environment/community is not adversely impacted by production, etc.
Cross-over Appeal & Unique Products
We carry 1500+ products to approximately 1000 active customers in 4 states (California, Idaho, Oregon & Washington), and service businesses ranging from mass food production, food trucks, brick and mortar restaurants, and retailers (ranging from local co-ops to chain stores). We aim to carry brands and products that can satisfy the needs of our large variety of customers without oversaturating the market with similar products.
Necessary Documentation
We request Sell Sheets, Spec Sheets, COAs, Organic Certification (and any other documentation) to be made available from current/aspiring vendors. Many customers request this type of information prior to purchasing any product.
We are directly focused on ethical and sustainable food products
Our choices in food products involve careful consideration to our planet and all living beings.
