Bon Appétit Management Company

As one of eight member farms of Hudson Valley Fresh Dairy cooperative, a Farm to Fork partner at Vassar, Tollgate exemplifies a commitment to high-quality milk and sustainable agriculture.

With dozens of accounts and hundreds of employees in greater Los Angeles, many of our associates, clients and guests have been impacted by this catastrophe. Our hearts go out to all of them.  

Whitman College’s First Foods station — likely one of the first of its kind on campuses across the United States — is a collaboration between Bon Appétit and the Native American Outreach office at Whitman.

With their new comprehensive waste and compost progreams, Knox College is embarking on a new era of on-campus waste management.  

Every year for the holidays, we choose an organization whose mission aligns with our own and give a gift on behalf of our clients. This year, in the spirit of caring, we’ve donated to three organizations around the country that together, create a full circle of care.

At The Claremont Colleges, also known as the 7C’s, Bon Appétit manages dining at Pitzer College, Claremont McKenna College (CMC), and Scripps College. Each campus feels completely unique, with its own staff, student culture, and cafés, but our shared commitment and collaboration around our sustainability commitments connects us all. Sustainability is embedded in their culture, thanks to the managers’ tireless efforts and close partnerships with students. 

Not everyone gets a poem written for them in honor of their retirement, but not everyone is Sia Mohsenzadegan, resident district manager of Bon Appétit at the University of the Pacific (U of P) in Stockton, CA. Sia has been with Bon Appétit for 33 years, and with U of P for 21 of those years.

Indigenous people have been working in harmony with the land in North America for millennia. To preserve these distinct food traditions and the cultures, customs, and languages they represent, Native American advocacy organizations are working towards a self-determined and decolonized food system known as Indigenous food sovereignty.  

This fall, teams from Willamette University and Lewis & Clark College joined the Oregon chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation for the Foundation’s Fall Festival. From pumpkin decorating to crown-making and games, magic was made at this community-building event.  

Every November, Bon Appétit Management Company takes the time to reflect on the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans, whose deep ties to the land have cultivated traditional knowledge systems over centuries. Indigenous farming practices are an essential part of the cumulative wisdom that has been passed down over generations. These agricultural customs not only ensure the survival of important crops, but a connection to rituals, food traditions, ancestors, and the surrounding ecosystem.
