🎉 Big shoutout to our amazing school community! 🎉

This year, we proudly served 110,651 breakfasts and 133,608 lunches — many of them cooked from scratch with real ingredients and a whole lot of heart. 🥗💜

Not only that, but thanks to our partnership with Tompkins County School Food Reboot (TCSFR) program, the Chef Ann Foundation, the Park Foundation and the Tompkins County Farm to School program, we are able to increase students' consumption of healthy, farm fresh whole ingredients, while strengthening local agriculture and supporting NYS farmers! 🍎🍓🥕🌽🥗🍅

We’re dedicated to serving real, nourishing food that fuels our students for success — and it shows in every meal.

Here’s to another year of feeding minds and fueling futures — one scratch-cooked meal at a time! 🍽️
