Since our beginning in 2006, Magnolia Bistro has been committed to the environment. We are proud to have been the first Green Certified Restaurant in Vermont, and our actions reflect these values on a daily basis. Here are few of the ways we're working to lessen our impact and support our local economy in the process: Purchasing organic grains, corn and soy to avoid GMO products Over 90% of our waste is recycled or composted We have 10 Energy Star rated appliances We are proud members of the Vermont Fresh Network and work closely with local farms and food purveyors
