Mendocino Farms is one of the few Certified Green Restaurants in the United States and part of a growing community of Pro Environment businesses that understand that they have a social responsibility to minimize their impact on the environment.

MF's first store has a comprehensive recycling program, uses biodegradable disposables and uses post consumer, recycled and chlorine free paper products. Currently in design, Mendocino Farms prototype store, designed by Frank Gehry protege Ana Henton, meets the highest level of the US Green Building Council's LEED criteria. Incorporating innovative design while optimizing energy performance, enhanced refrigerant management, water use reduction and use of recycled materials, Ana Henton has taken a bold approach to ensure that Mendocino Farms pushes the envelope of Green Construction and Operation.
