Local Effort specializes in personal and event cooking, with an emphasis on local ingredients. We provide plated, coursed meals akin to a restaurant experience, more casual family-style meals, and appetizer-focused cocktail party service, all with the same ingredient-obsessed quality.

Established in 1979, our legendary catering has been enjoyed by thousands of wedding couples and their treasured guests. Proudly family owned and operated, This Little Piggy is a favorite for weddings and events throughout Minnesota and Western WI.

Available at our many exclusive venues, Apples 2 Apples Catering offers an ethical farm to table catering concept using healthy ingredients fresh from local farms across Minnesota and Wisconsin. The menu offers organic, grass fed, free range, and sustainable options, served in an eco-friendly manner. We also specialize in serving those with dietary restrictions such as gluten and dairy intolerance, as well as vegetarian and vegan needs.

We have been serving the greater Twin Cities region and beyond for 43 years. We started out as a pig roasting company. Over the years, we added many other meats and a wide variety of other offerings. We also feature a variety of specialty menus, yet remain the #1 pig roasting caterer in the upper midwest. Divine Swine has kept with the original theme of serving simple, wholesome, and delicious foods in generous quantities at a reasonable price. All items are made from the freshest ingredients and are the highest quality available. The heart of the experience is still our slow roasted, fresh, whole meats, featuring, of course, Roast Pork.
