Stunning! And so high quality. My energy is actually significantly improved this week because I’ve been eating the leftovers and the food is so fresh, and free of chemicals.

We just continue to be incredibly impressed with how you run your business, and the quality of food you make. The first time I reached out for the wedding I was SO anxious - my medical diet journey has been kind of traumatic. And I feel so much more at ease trusting other people with my food now, seeing how incredibly knowledgeable and creative you are.

And this second time, working with your employees was every bit as wonderful. They were fantastic! So kind, and so helpful. They went above and beyond in facilitating the event, setting up, tending to guests, and cleaning up. I’m so grateful.

The serving sizes were perfect, and we had plenty of extra, which was super helpful in making the week easier.

Thank you so, so much!

Cannot recommend Gather Around Nutrition enough. I was matched with an incredible chef who has listened to all of my extreme pickiness, complicated health needs, and a small list of likes and has turned it into the most delicious, diverse and healthy weekly menu I could have NEVER imagined. This after I had previously tried every meal service out there (Im not even exaggerating) and nothing matched my needs or tastes. I had given up on enjoying food. With Amanda, I have enjoyed every single meal. She listens to my feedback when the menu comes out and we fine tune it together. Im truly excited when she comes each week to hand deliver my incredible box of meals. Ive recommended this service to everyone I know. One hundred percent worth every penny.

Johanna & Jed were FANTASTIC! People are still talking about the grazing board they prepared a week after the event. Can't wait to work with them again!!

Gather Around Nutrition is just wonderful. I received meals from Gather Around Nutrition while going through cancer treatment. They paired me with one of their chefs who prepared delicious, healthful meals--taking into account all of our preferences and food restrictions. I was able to rest and heal without worrying about feeding my family. I highly recommend their service.

Jed & Johanna catered our wedding with grazing boards and a buffet-style dinner!

The food was AMAZING and such a highlight of the evening. Everyone keeps talking about it :) we love that we were able to incorporate local and seasonal produce AND work with a small business all in one.

They are so talented, and we especially loved the level of food education and encouragement to try new produce they provided to guests during the event. Thank you thank you!

If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate and hire them immediately!
Our guests said they thought it might be some of the best food they’ve ever had in their lives. Johanna is so sweet and obviously passionate about what she does. I’d give more stars if I could.

Went to an event catered by them and a live fly was in my cold food. I highly recommend washing your produce even if it is *organic and local*.

I've worked with Gather Around for a few years now, so I've been paired with a few different chef team members during that time. Everyone has been excellent-to-amazing to work with, especially considering that I have a medically-restricted diet that can be tricky to cook for. They welcome feedback, and I think that's really key even for folks without a lot of dietary restrictions, to engage in dialogue with their chefs to dial in any preferences. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for personal chef services!

Gather round nutrition was a great experience all around! They gave us the flexibility to try out different chefs who customized meals each week to our preferences. The meals were healthy as if we had cooked them ourselves. Being able to use reusable containers and not create waste like other meal providers was a big plus. Highly recommended!

I attended a yoga retreat in Cloverdale, Oregon and our private chefs…what food dreams are made of! Ged and Gabriella were wonderful and their food was to DIE for! Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Jed and Gabriella were phenomenal. They cooked for a retreat I attended, and I have never been so nourished and loved through such delicious and carefully prepared food. They took time to chat with us, and they made sure I had incredible vegetarian and dairy free options at every meal. I recommend GAN to everyone who will listen <3

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jed & Johanna "behind the scenes" during one of our spiritual community's retreats, as I was our group's catering liaison. It was truly impressive how they navigated complex dietary needs & schedule adjustments! They were always professional and held consistent care and commitment to providing high quality, nourishing food to every member of our group. Every meal of this 5 day retreat was delicious. Our retreats are energy intensive and it's very important that we are refueled and well resourced. Jed & Johanna took care of this for us! And, their commitment to social justice and health is evident. There was an added layer of nourishment provided through the stories of our food sources and the casual conversations we had around food and life. In addition to being fabulous chefs, they are awesome humans! I look forward to working with them again! We're booked for several more retreats this year!

These people are mystical masters of the culinary arts. I have never experienced a better farm-to-table sustainably sourced catering experience. They put so much care into every single meal they create. They accommodated our group's extreme dietary restrictions that varied each week (including gluten free, dairy free, vegan, nightshade free folks) carefully making sure everyone's nutritional needs were met. Each meal was aesthetically gorgeous, delicious, lovingly designed and crafted using local seasonal ingredients usually sourced from Black, Latinx and Indigenous owned farms or sustainable Indigenous fishing operations. Jed and Johanna are also a pleasure to be around. I recommend hiring Gather Around Nutrition wholeheartedly, especially for people hosting retreats.

If you are looking for food that feeds your body and spirit, you found it!
In all honesty (second only to my mom, of course), I have never felt more cared for through food than with Jed and Johanna. The thought and care they put into food choices, dietary restrictions, and balance were palpable. Beyond this, the coming together of energizing, healthy, and tasty meals just made my experience! I am deeply grateful for the ways they nourished my body and senses!

I am very particular when it comes to nourishing my body. Friends and family have come to expect me to carry my own food to events. So it was amazing to experience the farm to table, locally sourced, organic food that Gather Around Nutrition provided for a recent retreat- the best 6 days of eating of the year. Everything was obviously made with care, beautifully presented and delicious. I did not know my ‘limited’ diet could allow for such imaginative and tasty food. I wish I could eat with Gather Around every day. So grateful for their values and talent! Thank you for the belly love!
