Hayward Restaurant joins ZFP
Hayward Restaurant in McMinnville, OR, has become one of the first Zero Foodprint Members in the Pacific Northwest! Hayward’s commitments, along with those of Astera and New Seasons Market, have made it possible for Zero Foodprint to launch Restore NW grants in Oregon and Washington. A 2024 James Beard Award finalist, Hayward has quickly garnered a reputation for an unmatched experience in a friendly, communal environment. Chef Kari Shaughnessy’s cooking has been lauded for its “layers of flavors and unexpected flavors” (Noah Cable), and her thoughtful attention to local farms has inspired the restaurant’s contributions to the ZFP Membership program.
“Hayward is joining Zero Foodprint because our restaurant would not exist without the small farmers. They are entirely who we build our menu around and without them we would not be able to do what we do. Our small farmers work tirelessly to provide an excellent product to the community as well as care for the land we all live on. If Zero Foodprint is looking to project them and support these businesses, then we are all in!”

About Hayward
“Hayward is a restaurant rooted in local farming and purveying. We focus our cooking around what vegetables we have access to at that time from our farm partnerships. This means the menu changes almost weekly and is always inspired by the teams tastes and travels. We cook the way we like to eat which means dishes are designed to be shared and focused on whole animals, fermentation, unique produce and sourdough bread.
We are a small team looking to provide a fun and creative meal to our community. We care deeply about where our food comes from. Always striving to be as zero waste as possible. We work with our farmers to collect our compost in efforts to reduce waste and provide a need for our small farms as well! Hayward represents where we live and why we love it. The charm and natural bounty of this place drew each one of us here and drives us to create conscious fare for our community. When you are at Hayward, you'll sit next to your neighbors, farmers, and winemakers.”

Zero Foodprint is all about this thing called Collective Regeneration.
We’re convinced that we can fight climate change and grow better food with better farming practices. These practices take time, labor, and resources to establish, and historically farms have been expected to bear the brunt of the financial risk to change their practices. After decades of climate initiatives, it’s become clear that nobody can make this transformation on their own.Zero Foodprint pools contributions from all different parts of the food system to make dollars go further. We then equitably distribute those funds via grants to farmers. By directly funding better farming practices, your business’ contributions can help solve the climate crisis while attracting climate-conscious customers and increasing employee satisfaction.

About Zero Foodprint
Zero Foodprint (ZFP) is a nonprofit organization restoring the climate, one acre at a time. We believe that by regenerating soil, local food economies can play a critical role in reversing the global climate crisis. We work with food and beverage businesses, philanthropy, and government to bring the next dollar to implement the next regenerative practice on the next acre. This regenerative economy benefits every person who grows food, every person who sells food, and every person on this planet who eats food.
