The Pilchers and the entire staff of the Red Shutter Inn are committed to buying and serving local foods that are free of all preservatives and chemicals.  Furthermore, the treatment, living conditions, and handling of the animals we serve is of paramount importance to everyone here at the Red Shutter Inn.  (list of our providers) 

As a consequence the Red Shutter buys a great deal of our proteins and produce directly from nearby farms and from farmers markets.  Wherever possible, we choose to buy local and buy direct for two important reasons:  (1) In today's confusing food marketplace, buying local from farms that we tour regularly ensures the safety and quality of our food and; (2) it recycles more of your dining dollars into the hands of families and farmers who live near us thereby supporting small businesses and the community at large rather than a large agricultural conglomerate based outside of New England.
