History[edit | edit source]

Ayr Muir founded Clover Food Lab in 2008 with the aim of creating a fast food chain that would serve fresh, locally sourced, and environmentally friendly food. The first Clover Food Lab was a food truck located near the MIT campus. The success of the food truck led to the opening of brick-and-mortar locations in Cambridge, Boston, and other locations in the Greater Boston area.

Menu[edit | edit source]

Clover Food Lab's menu changes daily and is heavily influenced by the seasons. The company sources its ingredients from local farmers and producers, and its menu is entirely vegetarian. Some of the most popular items include the Chickpea Fritter Sandwich, the BBQ Seitan Sandwich, and the Rosemary French Fries.

Sustainability[edit | edit source]

Clover Food Lab is committed to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of the food industry. The company uses compostable packaging, operates energy-efficient restaurants, and sources ingredients from local farmers to reduce its carbon footprint. In addition, Clover Food Lab's menu is entirely vegetarian, as the production of plant-based foods has a lower environmental impact than that of meat.
