Our Story
Who We Are
- Whether you're inspiring guests with a high-end meal or craving reliable favorites, we create indelible culinary experiences.
- We consistently deliver outstanding service through our longstanding tradition of Irish hospitality.
- Only Three Leaf can deliver an unparalleled connection to the University.
At Three Leaf, our location in northern Indiana plays a key role in sourcing. By being located in the heart of the Midwest, we're able to take advantage of the rich agricultural resources that are available to us from local farms. We believe in supporting our local community and economy, and sourcing our food locally is just one way in which we do this. Not only does this help us reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing transportation distances, but it also ensures that our ingredients are fresh, seasonal, and of the highest quality. We're proud to partner with local farms and suppliers to bring the very best food to our events.
Our Sustainability Efforts
Grind2Energy
We take our commitment to sustainability seriously and have implemented a range of initiatives to reduce our environmental impact. One effort is our use of the Grind2Energy technology provided by Insinkerator Emerson, which helps divert pre and post-consumer food waste from the landfill. This innovative technology processes food waste and pipes it to an onsite tank, where it is then collected by a local septic hauler and delivered to a nearby dairy farm.
At the dairy farm, the food waste is utilized in their existing anaerobic digestion system, which helps generate renewable energy while also minimizing methane emissions. This closed-loop approach to using food waste is a win-win for the environment and our local community, as it not only reduces the amount of waste sent to the landfill but also supports sustainable farming practices.
Cultivate Culinary
We believe in giving back to our community and helping those in need. That's why we maintain an ongoing partnership with Cultivate Culinary, a local organization that provides high-quality, well-balanced meals to food-insecure families throughout the Michiana area.
Through this partnership, we're able to rescue food from events and donate it to Cultivate. They then "rescue" and re-use this food through multiple programs, including a weekend backpack program that helps feed K-12 students facing poverty.
