Most restaurants will tell you they use quality ingredients. At Sparrow in Kirkland, Washington, we’d rather introduce you to the people behind them. Every protein, every noodle, every scoop on our menu comes from a producer we chose on purpose: family farms, old-world butchers, and artisan makers who refuse to cut corners. These are our supply partners, and their craft shows up in every single bite.
If you are looking for genuine farm-to-table dining on Seattle’s Eastside, in Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell, or anywhere in between, this page is the full roster of the extraordinary vendors who make Sparrow what it is.
The Beef: Imperial American Wagyu
Our Wagyu comes from Imperial American Wagyu Beef, raised from authentic Japanese bloodlines and graded to a Signature marbling score of 8 or 9 under Japanese standards, a level of buttery, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that USDA Prime simply cannot reach. No added hormones. No animal by-products in feed. Ever.

The Poultry: Mary’s Chickens & Draper Valley Farms
We source from two of the most respected poultry families in the country. Mary’s Free-Range Chickens has been family owned since 1954 and air-chills every bird, adding no water, keeping 100% of the natural chicken flavor. Draper Valley Farms has been a Pacific Northwest institution since 1935, raising vegetarian-fed, antibiotic-free chickens processed right in Mount Vernon, Washington.

The Butcher: Cascioppo Meats & Carlton Farms
Our sausages and specialty meats come from Cascioppo Meats, a Seattle family butcher making sausage by hand since 1947. Through Cascioppo we also bring in heritage pork from Carlton Farms, a sixth-generation Oregon family raising premium pork in the Willamette Valley since 1956, the backbone of our Sparrow-Smoked Rack of Ribs.

The Pasta: Forchetta Pasta
Our fresh pasta is made by Forchetta Pasta Company, Seattle artisans who extrude through traditional bronze dies for a texture that grips every sauce. It is never dried, never warehoused. It arrives fresh and is cooked the same week it’s made.

The Dessert: Olympic Mountain Ice Cream
Our gelato and sorbet come from Olympic Mountain Ice Cream, a Washington family business handcrafting small-batch frozen desserts in Shelton since 1984. Founded by Karl and Bev Black and still run by the family, every batch is built from real Pacific Northwest fruit and herbs, with no artificial flavors and no shortcuts.

The Pour: Seattle Soda
Even our fountain is local. Seattle Soda, produced in the Pacific Northwest and distributed by Natural Wave, is made free of high-fructose corn syrup, a craft soda program that matches the standard we hold for everything else on the table.
