With the “farm-to-table” and “farm-to-party” movement growing in popularity this year, we want to talk about all of the amazing seasonal foods that can be found here in the Pacific Northwest.

Oregon and Washington are home to a wide variety of farming communities, providing us with everything from artisanal cheese to fresh summer peaches to just-caught salmon. This bounty of local foods gives our chefs here at Mundo Catering the opportunity to work with fresh ingredients, which provides you with delicious food.
