Direct sourcing programs aren't built on good intentions, they're built on infrastructure. Local Line makes buying direct from farms reliable, scalable, and consistent.
Trusted by Chipotle, Sweetgreen, and hundreds more. From single location kitchens to national chains.
Sourcing direct from farms shapes your menu and determines what guests remember. This kind of sourcing deserves a real system, not a patchwork of calls and emails.
Diners choose where to eat based on what's on the menu and where it comes from. A credible local program differentiates you in a way a marketing budget can't buy. Local Line gives you the infrastructure to make it real.
Buying direct means more money staying in your kitchen and in the hands of the farms you work with. Local Line makes direct trade operationally viable, even at high order frequency.
Every farm you connect with and every order you place builds a local supply chain that belongs to your kitchen — not a distributor's catalog. The longer you use it, the stronger it gets.
Local Line is built for how restaurants actually buy — whether you're running a single location or sourcing for a nationwide brand.
"Local Line helped us purchase over 47 million pounds of local produce last year. Their platform has played an important part in expanding our local food purchases."
Erin Massa, Senior Director of Produce, Chipotle
"The common belief is that you have to choose between scale and sourcing with intention. We’ve proven that you can do both, and partnerships like the one we have with Local Line are important components of how we’ll continue to do it in the future"
Jim Thomas, VP of Supply Chain and Sustainability at Sweetgreen.avif)

Chipotle sourced over 50 million pounds of local produce in 2025. Sweetgreen built their brand on direct farm relationships. These programs don't run by accident, they were run on Local Line.

Serious local programs need a serious team and serious infrastructure. Real onboarding, real support, real feedback loops.
“Onboarding seasonal farms normally takes a lot of coordination; outreach, documentation, compliance, accounting. Local Line brought all of that into one place, allowing me to focus on creating a successful fall menu."
Kyle Wind, Strategic Sourcing Manager, Sweetgreen
