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!
Hope Anderson
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!
Rose Wilson
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!
Nijlan Rosalia Bastet
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!
I was gifted two weeks of their postpartum meal plan and it was so incredible and exactly what I wanted. 10/10 would recommend.

Jed’s meals were all so delicious!! Not a thing my husband and I didn’t like. This service was a savior for my first few weeks of postpartum recovery.
Alejandra Olmos
Jed, Johanna and Lago, provided delicious food during the retreat I attended. Food was healthy and variate.
Larisa Gerace
Highly recommending Gather Around Nutrition! I had the privilege of working with Johanna and Jed on two small group retreats 9-15 people. Planning with them was a pleasure, I felt listened and responded to and an openness to really understand what our group needs. They truly are Farm to Table. We were lucky to have fall retreats and each day we were treated to fresh foods from both of their gardens and locally sourced farms in the area. Every meal was memorable, tasty, healthy and conscious of our many special food requests ie Gluten/Dairy Free etc. Our chef's arrived on time and ready to cook each day and executed excellent meals again and again! Mid week we had to adjust food amounts to accommodate the eating happening and Johanna was able to find solutions immediately and we were adjusted by the next meals. It was nice to be able to bring last minute changes and be met with good attitudes and willingness to please. The participants were happy with the food selections and varieties and we all felt well nourished throughout the week. We are already booked for our retreats in 2024 and look forward to continuing our relationship with Gather Around Nutrition and Jed and Johanna! Thanks again for an excellent experience!

I was excited to know that Gather Around Nutrition was catering a second retreat I was attending. I actually thought about their cooking on several occasions while back home and have recommended them to several friends in the Portland area. Seriously, the food is that good. Their cooking is deeply nourishing, flavorful and beautifully presented. And Johanna and Jed are just wonderful humans. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
