Welcome back to school!

It’s the first week in September, and families are coming back from their various summer adventures, ready to start the school year.

After a long and wonderful summer filled with our food + garden summer camp, our kitchen is bustling again, and our chef and kitchen staff are busy preparing our homemade meals from scratch. Our delivery manager is delivering our food to our schools, and our management team is overseeing logistics to ensure that our operations are running smoothly.

Our food service staff are waking up today and traveling to their respective schools to nourish students at lunch-time with our delicious meals, and engage them in food conversations. Our wellness and food education team are busy planning and preparing to the launch our after-school cooking classes. We are a busy, and happy group of people, all here for one mission: providing children with the nutrition they need to be productive and happy at school, and pairing that with wellness and food education.

As part of our in-cafeteria wellness initiatives, we develop monthly table tops for children to read when they are sitting down at their tables, or waiting on line for lunch. Each month they will find a new culinary technique, along with a fun recipe to make at home. We will be sharing these with you as the school year progresses, and hope you enjoy reading them just as much as they do!

Welcome back, and cheers to a fantastic school year ahead!
