A Commitment to Sustainability & Traceability: Founding Farmers and Norpac Fisheries Partnership

At Founding Farmers, we believe in supporting American family farmers and sustainable practices that benefit our planet, our workers, and our customers. This is why we partner with trusted suppliers like Norpac Fisheries Export for our seasonal Fresh Catch Entréessustainable fishing practices

Sustainable Fishing & Sourcing 

Norpac Fisheries Export is a leader in the seafood industry, known for their dedication to sustainable fishing practices, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. When you enjoy our Fresh Catch preparations, you’re not just enjoying delicious fish—you’re supporting the ethical sourcing practices of companies like Norpac, who share our commitment to sustainability and fairness. They work tirelessly to ensure their fisheries use responsible catching practices, without disrupting ecosystems or depleting resources. This means that the seafood you enjoy today will still be available tomorrow, ensuring long-term sustainability for our oceans and marine life. 

Traceable from the Sea to Your Plate 

Norpac leads the way with electronic traceability, allowing them to track every step of their supply chain — from the moment a fish is caught to when it reaches your plate. This level of transparency ensures that you are enjoying seafood of the highest quality, sourced responsibly, and handled with care.  

Delicious Fish & Seasonal Preparations 

The fish we source from Norpac Fisheries is exceptionally delicious. Our very own Chef Joe was inspired to build a rotating fish program with four to five special seasonal preparations for our fresh catch of the day. They are not to be missed. Our Fresh Catch Program is available on the lunch and dinner menus at most* of our locations. Reserve your table or stop by for a taste of what we are cooking today! 

A Thoughtful Partnership 

At Founding Farmers, we believe in doing business with suppliers who prioritize the well-being of both the environment and their workers while providing high-quality products. We’re proud to partner with a supplier like Norpac that treats their workers fairly and follows strict ethical practices, ensuring the highest level of accountability. Together, we’re working towards a future where seafood is caught responsibly and enjoyed with the peace of mind that it was sourced with care and integrity.
