Farmhouse Lab
Farmhouse Lab is a brand for joyful, sustainable plant-based eating that encourages to make food more often at home again and to share it in community. With that, we want to help cultivate the plant-based revolution for the greater good. Our certified organic, 100% vegan Real Food Dressings are blends of premium oils with ingredients carefully selected from artisan producers who share a commitment to sustainability – you can smell and taste the difference in quality. Our dressings are gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, dairy-free and made with no garlic.
“I crafted our Real Food Dressings to make healthy eating tasteful, playful, and beautiful. I believe that with all our senses awakened, our food truly becomes nourishing. Pour on a burst of brightness and make unforgettable meals feel effortless.” Daniela Kratz, Founder & Creator of Farmhouse Lab
Workspace
My workspace is my kitchen, my home, my backyard, and garden. Here is where all my recipes are created. Oftentimes, inspired by my German Heritage and my travels to foreign places.
Today, all our products are crafted at Preserve Farm Kitchens in Petaluma, a certified organic, women owned, and woman run co-packer that supports local farmers. I love that they work one-on-one with farmers to turn their excess produce into products they can sell year-round to minimize food waste and to cut down on food miles.
Together, we are rebuilding a crucial link in the food system. One that connects local farmers with local eaters while making small scale food entrepreneurship possible.
In addition, I love the proximity to my home and the personal connection.
Production Model
As a small-batch producer we can select every ingredient and every recipe. This is so important for Farmhouse Lab, because we don’t use any organic Olive Oil for example, we use the Extra Virgin Arbequina Olive Oil from Organic Roots, a family farm in Glenn County, CA. Every ingredient we use is carefully selected and we like to build on the relationships we have with our producers.
Tools
Our Real Food Dressings and culinary salts are hand crafted.
Ingredients
We select local and organic ingredients from producers and farms that follow sustainable practices, and we are choosing green and earth friendly packaging.
