We know, it’s a lot of hyphens. To us, “health supportive food” is food that makes you feel well — and we want to help people feel well! To that end: we cook using little-to-no refined sugars, additives, or commercially processed products. We use heart healthy fats, a diversity of plant-based proteins, whole grains, and sustainably-raised animal products. Health supportive food is also food that was made by people working under good conditions, which we factor into our sourcing and employment practices as best we can. We work hard to make our kitchen a good place to be. In short, our food tastes good because it is good.
Start with the farms.
When possible, we plan our menus based on what is coming out of the fields each week. We believe this is one of the best ways to support our local farmers, our bodies, and local economies.
“Healthy food” is just food that makes you feel good.
All bodies are good bodies, no matter what size or ability or gender or race or class. All bodies are different and need different things. When we find ways to feed ourselves with intention and care, we are giving ourselves a very big gift.
Food justice is racial justice is economic justice is…
Our (very unjust) food system relies on the labor of immigrants, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, low-income workers and LGBTQ+ people. We are grateful for (and understand the incredible value of) every single berry picked, every onion chopped, every dish washed. We acknowledge and celebrate those who have been fighting for equity, and work to stand in solidarity with justice movements, locally and around the world.
Sustainability as practice.
We shoot for sustainability for all – the environment, our employees, our community, our clients, and the farmers we buy from.
Giving to our community is a joyful obligation.
Because we most often prepare food for people who have robust food access, we are committed to contributing food, resources and money to support those in our community who experience food insecurity.
Food is queer!
It just is. Trust us.
