Farm-fresh catering
Want to transform your event into an unforgettable culinary experience? We start from the ground up.
Clean Catering, Without Compromise
At SaltBlock, we believe great food should leave you feeling good— before, during, and long after the last bite. That’s why every dish we serve is made with clean oils only. No industrial seed oils. No shortcuts. Just high-quality ingredients that nourish and satisfy. We cook with: olive oil and avocado oil, 100% avocado oil for small-batch frying, and Zero Acre sugarcane oil for large-format frying. And absolutely no industrial seed oils—ever. But clean catering is more than just what we don’t use. It’s about being intentional with every ingredient we bring to your table. That’s why we created the SaltBlock Farm— so we can grow the nutrient-rich, seasonal produce that makes our food not only better for you, but better tasting too.
IT’s about the experiEnce
Extraordinary events begin with extraordinary ingredients. That’s why we created SaltBlock Farm—to cultivate the highest quality, nutrient-dense, and flavor-rich produce, grown with care and intention. By starting from the ground up, we ensure that every dish we serve transforms your event into a truly memorable dining experience.
