About Greenleaf

Green Leaf is proud to have been part of the sustainability food chain since our inception in 1975 when our founder, Jameson Patton delivered local and organic produce to San Francisco communes and restaurants out of a 1966 Dodge Windo van named Juliette.

As Green Leaf's reputation blossomed, Jameson and his partner, Steve Walton, became instrumental in the forming and advancement of CCOF, California Certified Organic Farmers.

Today, with over 2,000 discerning customers, Green Leaf is in the unique position to be able to select and support hundreds of farms and suppliers committed to organic and regenerative farming, ethical ingredient sourcing, worker well-being, and growing local communities.

Green Leaf is a rapidly growing business unit of The Chefs’ Warehouse, distributing the highest quality, local and sustainable produce and specialty foods to exceptional chefs in Northern and Southern California, Reno/Tahoe, and other regions coming soon.

We believe in having a passion for our products and customers. We work hard to deliver excellence and continuous improvement in everything we do.
