Our Story

Thirteen Chefs™ designs and retails sustainable kitchen and housewares products for food service professionals and home chefs. Our dedication mission is to create products that are long lasting and beautiful with a minimal carbon footprint.

As chefs ourselves, we have seen the industry move toward cheaper and disposable tools that end up in landfills. This is not only unsustainable, but dangerous to customers who don't realize the cost cutting measures that many manufacturers use to produce products that end up in our homes and kitchens. 

We are proud to say that over 80% of our Villa Acacia and 100% of our Terra Teak products are harvested and sourced from FSC Certified manufacturers, an international certifying body that sets the standards for responsible forestry management.

In addition, Thirteen Chefs is has partnered with the National Forest Foundation with an ongoing commitment to support the NFF's campaign to plant 50 million trees for reforestation efforts throughout the US. A portion of all sales from our Villa Acacia product line goes toward reforestation efforts and we have contributed funding toward 10,000 tree plantings.
