My name is Dustin Clapp and I have worked in the food industry since I was 18. For the past 10 years, I have operated here in the valley, working at various restaurants and as a private chef. I spend my summer months on the road, working at a range of places and events. My favorite thing about my job is being able to work with regional ingredients and heirloom varieties in particular. I am a proud member of Local AZ!
I grew up in Vermont and upstate New York, deeply valuing fresh, regional and seasonal ingredients. The culture behind seasonally growing and eating more regional foods is something I think is a more sustainable practice for growers, chefs and consumers. My goal is to showcase Arizona farms and businesses to local families. Exhibiting the most seasonal and nutritious ingredients found right here in the valley! All of my sourcing is fulfilled through Arizona’s very own Good Food Finder, an amazing resource that helps introduce locals and newcomers to Arizona’s amazing local food culture.
