About Us
Our Story
It’s a Love Story, Baby Just Say Yes
We’ve always been a yes company. From the day we opened our doors in 2015, it was a big giant “yes” to the world that we would serve food that made people feel amazing.
We were touring the East Coast, going to Taylor Swift concerts with our teen daughters and we could not find acceptable fast food anywhere. Food without hormones, GMO’s, & pesticides (those were our NO’s :).
So we realized if it didn’t exist, we’d have to build it ourselves. After all, if Taylor Swift could make love music that made you cry, we could cook organic food that made you fly. Come krush with us on our journey to true health, we promise you will love the tour.
“Food should never hurt, only fuel and nourish. I aspire everyday to help people find that incredible and lasting connection to food.”

Our Sourcing
Tuna
We only use canned skipjack tuna from Wild Planet. We have certain priorities when sourcing tuna; it must be 100% sustainably caught, have the lowest mercury content and be packed in BPA-free cans. Wild Planet is able to deliver all three.
Salmon
We source responsible, sustainably raised salmon, with an organic certification. Currently, our salmon is from the waters of Finnway, Norway, & British Columbia.
Shrimp
Chicken
Eggs
Our eggs come from farms in Pennsylvania and are certified organic by the USDA. The poultry is raised cage-free with access to the outdoors and are fed organic feed making them antibiotic free.
Steak
Transparency Matters.
Organic Krush is continually striving to source all our food products and kitchen items organically. There are a few items in our kitchen that are a work in progress to source organically or the items do not exist as an organic option:
Gluten-Free Bread – At this time, we are not able to source gluten-free and organic buns; our Burger Our burger buns are crafted by Udi’s. They are gluten-free but not organic.
