Fresh Thymes' Inspiration
Fresh Thymes' restaurant and casual eatery came into being from Chef Christine Ruch’s desire to make people feel good about themselves and about what they eat. Its mission is to make it simple to get plant-focused food in Boulder that's fresh, natural, thoughtfully made, and great-tasting. For a while, there wasn't another restaurant like Fresh Thymes anywhere in Boulder: an establishment that reflected Fresh Thyme's principles and combined the concepts of holistic nutrition and culinary arts.
From the outset, Fresh Thymes has aimed to be something more than a by-the-numbers health-food or vegan restaurant. It's a place with a cordial and welcoming atmosphere that also offers paleo, vegetarian, gluten-free - anything goes - fast casual options at a walk-up counter. Every customer should have the ability to get fresh, farm-to-table food without having to sit down for table service. Fresh Thymes makes the entire spectrum of healthy food in Boulder -- paleo, gluten-free, vegan fast food and more -- as easy to get as convenience store items.
Fresh Thymes is for all people. It's not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant, nor an all-paleo or dairy-free establishment. It is a place that pulls together all approaches to healthy eating under one roof. Fresh Thymes broadens the definition of sustainable cuisine to make it appealing to every kind of diner.
The primary focus may be on creating great dishes with plant-based ingredients, but also looking to serve something our ethically minded meat-eating friends would enjoy. Fresh Thymes goes through great lengths to source the highest-quality, ethical animal protein. Our dishes use local, pasture-raised beef and pork, and only the highest quality ethical poultry available. That means Fresh Thymes offers a more expansive menu with some dishes you can't find anywhere else. Each item this eatery serves reflects a goal of making healthy, satisfying food.
That big-tent approach has helped Fresh Thymes introduce health food in Boulder to a wide cross-section of different eaters. More than just a strictly paleo, vegan or vegetarian restaurant or fast food stop, Fresh Thymes is a place where the concepts of healthy eating, natural ingredients, and farm-to-table food mean something valuable to diners of all kinds.
Fresh Thymes' Sources
Local producers are at the heart of Fresh Thymes' commitment to the farm-to-table concept. The ingredients Fresh Thymes use come from local sources as much as possible. Occasionally it's necessary to go outside the local area to get what this restaurant needs, so Fresh Thymes' buyers choose sources as close to the Boulder area as possible. Using sustainable practices is a huge priority with Fresh Thymes, and using local sources helps meet that imperative.
Every item served and sold is made in-house completely from scratch. All food is gluten-free and peanut-free, and never has artificial ingredients, preservatives, or unnecessary additives.
