Sustainability Is Our Foundation

From soil to plate and back again — every decision we make begins with respect for the land, the farmer, and the future.

At The Desert Spoon, sustainability isn’t a marketing phrase — it’s a mindset. Every dish, partnership, and process reflects our commitment to giving back more than we take. From composting and in-house growing to sourcing locally and seasonally, we believe great food starts with great stewardship.

FROME GARDEN TO TABLE

Our Living Ecosystem

Nestled within Spring Creek Gardens, The Desert Spoon is part of a thriving ecosystem — one that feeds both the land and the table. Herbs and edible flowers are grown just steps from the kitchen, while our bee hives pollinate the gardens and provide local honey for our dishes.

We source the rest from Texas farms and ranches that share our belief in ethical, sustainable growing. Each menu is built around what’s in season — ensuring every plate reflects freshness, balance, and care.

ROOTED IN RESPONSIBILITY

Closing the Loop

COMMUNITY FIRST

Giving Back Locally

Sustainability guides everything we do:

• Composting organic matter and reusing garden waste.

• Designing menus that follow the rhythm of the seasons.

• Reducing single-use materials and eliminating unnecessary packaging.

Our kitchen is a closed loop — every ingredient, every byproduct, every step matters. By respecting what the land gives us, we ensure it can keep giving for generations to come.

Every pour and every plate supports something bigger. We proudly invest in Texas Scholars and local education programs, partner with Hill Country farmers, and source from small-batch producers across the region.

For us, sustainability isn’t only about land — it’s about people. The community that surrounds The Desert Spoon is the same one that inspires our food, our practices, and our purpose.
