Transforming Our Food System Many Meals at a Time

Every ingredient you source shows up twice — once on the plate, and once on your institution's sustainability report. Matriark's upcycled sauces, broths, and shelf-stable meals give chefs and procurement teams a clean-label, easy-to-source ingredient that performs at volume, without asking you to trade flavor for your sustainability commitments.

Food service is where more than half of America's meals are eaten — from college dining halls to hospitals to stadiums. Every ingredient decision made there has an outsized ripple effect. Matriark exists to make the sustainable choice the easy one.

“This is a new way of sourcing and an easy way for Compass Chefs and Managers, and our clients to meet waste reduction goals, putting flavor first. If sustainability and moving fast on carbon commitments is a part of what's important to you, then Matriark is a solution that can absolutely move the needle today.”
Alicia Jenish-Mc Carron, Director of Culinary Programming, Good Eating Company (US)
“Our collaborative efforts with Matriark to reduce waste and deliver flavor in a profitable manner is a triple win. Versatile and impactful, these types of products are few and far between!”
Catherine Schick, FeedMore WNY
“Not only does Matriark’s Vegetable Harvest Stew taste delicious, but it is healthy and uses ingredients sourced from New York State farmers. Matriark’s certification as a Nourish New York vendor enables FeedMore WNY to offer their high-quality product to the community members we serve, while also supporting New York farmers and producers.”
Livio Velardo, Executive Chef, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York
“[Matriark's Upcycled Vegetable Broth Concentrate] is excellent for large-scale facilities as it’s easy to use, versatile, a time-saver, tastes like a home-cooked stock, and because it keeps recipe development consistent. For the home cook, it’s got to be a standard pantry item no one will want to be without.”
