Bon Appétit Management Company

During a visit to Ferndale in September 2024, I experienced the power of Bon Appétit’s Farm to Fork Program firsthand.

For this year’s National Farmworker Awareness Week, we are shining a light on the challenges faced by women in farmwork.

As we reflect on the stories of resilience from women farmworker’s rights activists for National Farmworker Awareness Week, it’s clear that today’s initiatives build on the hard-fought progress of the past…

National Farmworker Awareness Week: For decades, women have stood at the forefront of the fight for farmworkers’ rights, challenging exploitation and advocating for justice in the agricultural industry.

Behind every Farm to Fork partnership is a story of a few individuals working hard to nourish their community and give back in many more ways than just food. 

During this year’s Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the women-owned businesses that are part of our Farm to Fork program and supply our teams and the communities they serve with produce, meat, and artisanal food products.    

This Black History Month, Bon Appétit Management Company is centering the experiences of Black farmers as key drivers of more equitable food systems.

We had the chance to talk with Nikki Presley, the Director of Farm Initiatives and Communications of the Persimmon Collective Fund, who works to support BIPOC farmers in the Southeast through greater access to land, capital, and technical assistance.

This Black History Month, Bon Appétit Management Company is shedding light on an unjust past for Black food producers while uplifting our Farm to Fork partners with businesses led by Black farmers, educators, and land stewards.  

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.
