From the Garden to the Table relies on the cooperation, support and generosity of a great number of businesses, government agencies, retailers, and wholesalers. We especially want to thank the following friends for their value of children’s health and sustainable and organic foods and environments.

Green Team
SHEAHAN + QUANDT
Architecture, Interior, Sustainable Design
Cathleen Quandt and Patrick Sheahan bring their respective experience and perspective to each project in a fluid collaboration. Cathleen, with a first degree in fine arts and a second in architecture, approaches with an eye to composition, color and materials. Patrick, with 35 years in both construction and architecture, brings an analytical approach and depth of experience in both residential and commercial work. Patrick began his career with solar and earth-sheltered design in the ’70s, and continues with a sustainable bent towards construction systems and materials selection.
Cathleen and Patrick have been designing together since 2000, and previously worked with highly regarded and widely published design firms: Cathleen with Cheng Design of Berkeley, and Patrick with Miller/Hull and Olson/Sundberg of Seattle.
Patrick and Cathleen execute all aspects of the design work through the smallest detail, believing that the success of a project hinges on the harmonious integration of function and aesthetic.
TRIMARK ECONOMY RESTAURANT FIXTURES
Economy Restaurant Fixtures was founded in 1965 by Mike Weinstock and his wife Betty. The company later merged with TriMark USA. TriMark Economy Restaurant Fixtures remains family-operated with Jeff Weinstock serving as CEO and Josh Weinstock working as President.
The TriMark organization was formed from the consolidation of seven leading foodservice design, equipment and supplies dealers into a single company. Though the TriMark name has only been in use since December 1, 2000, the people behind the name are among the most experienced in the industry. This experience, combined with our strategic areas of specialization, position TriMark to provide foodservice operators with solutions to their most complex requirements.
