Root Catering

Just like a plant's journey from a tiny seed to a flourishing entity, Root Catering sprouted from a simple idea. Originating in California with a visit to a farmers market and a passion for cooking with freshly sourced ingredients, this small notion evolved into something much larger.

One meal led to another, and a handful of clients grew into a thriving business. The founder, driven by this feisty spirit, decided it was time to transplant the company back to its roots. In 2011, Root Catering made its move to Rochester, New York, to embrace the farm-to-table movement, deliver innovative and delectable meals, and offer exceptional event catering service.

At Root Catering, the essence of their name is ingrained in their ethos – a celebration of roots, encompassing the food they cultivate and prepare, the shared meals that forge connections, their hometown, and the relationships they cultivate. This culinary journey is fueled by a passion that led them across the country and back home, dedicating themselves to a labor of love.
