Farm-to-table catering is at the heart of everything we do at Paramount Events. We believe exceptional events start with exceptional food, which is why our culinary team is committed to sourcing fresh, local ingredients that bring flavor, quality, and sustainability to every menu we create.

 Why Farm-to-Table Catering Starts with Local Farms

At Paramount Events, our culinary team is committed to sourcing the best ingredients from local farms and producers throughout the Midwest. We’re proud to partner with many regional farms and growers, including Mick Klüg Farm, Nichols Farm & Orchard, Froggy Meadow, and Oriana’s Orchard, incorporating seasonal fruits and vegetables into menus that highlight the freshest flavors of the region. By working with local growers, we’re able to create menus that celebrate the seasons while supporting Midwest agriculture and delivering the freshest ingredients possible to our guests.

From Our Greenhouse to Your Plate 

 Our greenhouse supports our commitment to farm-to-table catering by providing fresh herbs, greens, and specialty produce year-round. Which allows our chefs to incorporate greenhouse-grown ingredients directly into event menus. This approach not only enhances flavor and freshness but also supports our commitment to sustainable catering practices.

Quality Ingredients Matter 

We believe every ingredient plays an important role in the guest experience. That’s why we proudly use organic flour from Janie’s Mill, a family-owned Illinois producer known for exceptional stone-ground grains.  From artisan breads and pastries to house-made doughs, starting with premium ingredients helps us create dishes that guests remember long after the event ends. 

A Commitment to Sustainable Catering 

Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, fundraiser, or private event, Paramount Events delivers farm-to-table catering rooted in fresh, locally sourced ingredients and sustainable practices.
