Our Mission
Our Mission – A fourfold promise.
We aim to help our guests celebrate the everyday through unique tasting experiences. Our modern, Midwestern spin on a European market draws attention from across the state. Our unique dining concept combines experience, education and the unexpected. From our partnerships with local farms, to relationships with exclusive vineyards, and as creators of meticulously crafted desserts, every aspect of our business is driven by our desire to curate. The Purveyor is proudly local, connecting our community to global taste and offerings.

“At La Quercia, we believe that the food we eat can delight us each day. We craft our cured meats with the highest quality materials, combined with careful adherence to tradition and the judicious use of modern tools. The food we eat tells us a story, reaching from the farmers to our processing facility to stores and restaurants and then to the final consumers who purchase our meats and enjoy them. We are thrilled to be part of Purveyor’s work and narrative.“
