As the U.S. food and restaurant scene continues to evolve, one trend stands out:
People want to know where their food comes from.
As communities become more intentional about the ingredients they choose, restaurants and food brands are placing greater emphasis on sourcing, transparency, and partnerships with local producers. That's one reason The Creamery was excited to collaborate with sweetgreen and OLIPOP at the grand opening of sweetgreen's first Utah location in Salt Lake City's Sugar House neighborhood.
sweetgreen’s menu is built around fresh, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, prepared daily in an open kitchen. Each restaurant features a source board highlighting the farmers and growers behind the food.
According to sweetgreen in a KSL article, Salt Lake City was one of its most requested cities before the announcement of its new location. And in true Utah fashion, The Creamery came together with OLIPOP for a soda float bar featuring hand-scooped ice cream made with dairy from our family farms and topped with OLIPOP prebiotic soda.
For The Creamery, the collaboration represented something bigger than a single event.
As a farmer-owned business and dairy destination, we know great food starts long before it reaches a store shelf or restaurant table. It begins on family farms with people who care deeply about the land, their animals, and the products they produce. Those values are at the heart of our farm-to-table products and continue to shape the broader food community.
As more national brands enter our beautiful state, we're encouraged to see them embrace local suppliers, local flavors, and the agricultural heritage that helps make this state unique. Collaborations like this help connect people with the real farmers behind the food they enjoy every day.
We're proud to represent Utah's rural dairy farm families and grateful for opportunities to share our products with new people. Whether it's through a float, a scoop of ice cream, fresh cheese curds, or a partnership that celebrates local food, our driving force remains the same: bringing people closer to the family farmers that feed them.
