Helping to build a better future
SUSTAINABILITY
We've been farm to plate since 1978, when we opened our first restaurant–the Thornapple Village Inn in Ada, Michigan.
The Gilmore Collection's sustainability practices extend through all phases of meal planning. We make decisions that
are guided by a commitment to reduce resource consumption and to utilize locally sourced product. We are advocates for
ethical environmental practices and consciously devote our daily tasks to the betterment of the community and world around us.
