Nourishing a Brighter Future
Food brings people together. Our dedication for creating memorable experiences through food drives our commitment to nourishing the whole person. Let us reimagine your campus hospitality experience to deliver hands-on experiences that simply make food fun.
Creating Stronger Community
When it comes to school lunch, we take a foodies-first approach. Built upon the principles of great food, great service, and great people, our culture is steeped in the tradition of culinary arts, health & wellness, with deep ties to the world of education. With over 50 years of industry experience, we believe in empowering a community of kindness through great food with respect for each other and our amazing planet.
Our made-from-scratch meals are created with a wellness-first approach that supports local and sustainable agricultural practices, but most importantly nourish our students throughout their busy day.
Nutrition Education,
Made Fun
We stand at the crossroads of flavor and fun, taking a hands-on approach to nutrition education. With interactive, creative programming, our team of registered dietitians works alongside our culinary team to seamlessly infuse nutrition education into school lunch.
Driving Innovation
Exposure to new ingredients and a celebration of global flavors is at the core of our programming. Our tailored approach keeps things keep things fresh and exciting for all students.
Hands-On Approach
It’s ok to play with your food! Rooted in fun, we empower students to make informed decisions about their food through creative tastings and exploring new foods, textures, and flavors.
Allergy Management
We prioritize healing through both food and education. Through our many partnerships, we’re able to help the next generation build stronger, longer-lasting habits they can take with them forever.
Performance Nutrition
Fueling for the field requires educating young athletes about how to reach their personalized nutrition goals.
