Food Services

Our Food Services team offers a varied menu of healthy, delicious foods.

Whether preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner for 150 grade school children and university students, bag lunches to take into the field, a gala banquet, or appetizers for visiting dignitaries, Executive Chef Patrick Edmunson and his team do their utmost to ensure quality and variety.


 

 Our Executive Chef  endeavors to:

  • use fresh whole foods in our menus
  • eliminate packaged and processed foods
  • use foods free of preservatives, dyes, coatings and fillers whenever possible
  • have a strong foundational knowledge of the products we use
  • use herbs grown on-site
