Since 1976, AK has been serving fresh and delicious food in an atmosphere where sustainable agriculture and responsible business practice are the main ingredients. Food is prepared at the kitchen everyday, and organically grown ingredients are often served to its customers in less than 48 hours after harvest.

Its menu supports the ecology of small, diversified family farms by maintaining committed, direct relationships with local farmers, food artisans, and purveyors. It also composts and donates food.
