Food Programs & Special Projects for Organizations

Food that lives up to what you believe in

Some organizations care deeply about the food they serve, even though running a food program is not their primary business.


We work with small, values-led organizations where food matters

Maybe you’re:

∴
An inn that wants breakfast to actually reflect the farms and landscape around you.
∴
A retreat center trying to feed thirty people well from a small kitchen.
∴
A small school that wants its dining program to match what it teaches about health, community or sustainability.
∴
A farm beginning to host overnight guests.
∴
A camp trying to accommodate increasingly complex dietary needs without turning dinner into six separate meals.

You need more than a menu. What looks good on paper has to work at the table. We help make ambitious ideas about nutrition, sourcing, sustainability and hospitality into living, practical food programs.

Making it work is part of the work.

The Ellery brings together culinary experience, nutrition, sourcing and food systems with the less glamorous things that determine whether an ambitious idea actually works: budgets, staffing, equipment, purchasing, prep time, waste, dietary needs — and what people will actually eat.
