Mission

Specialty Foods of Aspen is dedicated to producing quality goods. By sourcing locally and Organically, they illustrate their commitment not only to Aspen, but also to the Northwest as well. They have concluded that the need for nutritious, quality, and wholesome food is crucial for the working class community that they live in. Unfortunately, however, there is an abundance of Diners and Fast Food establishments that do not cater to a healthy lifestyle for their community. They acknowledge that the afore-mentioned eateries may offer more affordable meals, but they simply do not consider nutrition nor do they care. Deep fried or micro waved food has next to no real value for the human body. Isn’t food that works with their bodies worth investing in? Or would they rather spend retirement on hospital bills in the future? Food Works for everyone.
They offer balanced, nutritional, and savory meals that never touch a deep fryer nor a micro wave. In fact, they have neither of these pieces of equipment in their facility nor in their home. Production of the majority of their final products begins here, in their kitchen at Food Works. From the fresh baked bread on their sandwiches to the Scones served at your favorite coffee house. They are determined to change the way people abuse their bodies with “junk food”. Because quite frankly, that is exactly what “fast food” is, junk. And by serving locally sourced goods, they ensure a stable economy in Aspen. Unlike Fast Food or other Restaurant “chains”, the capital investment returns to their community, not a foreign or out of State region.
Consider the options. How they choose to feed their bodies today will greatly determine their health in the future. Obviously, nutrition is not the only path to a better quality of life. All the toxins they breathe and ingest on a daily basis will affect them too. However, diet is an element they can change at any time. With a staggering number of Americans lacking Dental, Life, or Medical Insurance, the food they eat can limit the chances of having dietary complications.
Food Works today and tomorrow.
