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.

Penn Dining chefs competed in their second annual Wellness Cup Competition, showcasing their plant-forward spin on an American classic: the burger. The winning dish was a true Bon Appétit classic, featuring seasonality, waste diversion, and teamwork — all on one plate.   

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

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.

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.  

Our chefs on college campuses around the country have the unique responsibility to expand the minds and palates of an emerging generation, and an opportunity to educate students about the importance (and deliciousness) of sustainably sourced seafood options, both wild-caught or farmed, that are served in their campus cafés. 

From a young age, food was my source of joy and creativity. As I got older, that fascination with food only grew. What was once a childhood pastime evolved into an obsession. I devoured cookbooks, immersed myself in documentaries, and cooked meal after meal for anyone willing to eat my food.  Through cooking, I discovered that food has a unique power to foster connections. Sharing meals and recipes helps build relationships and create lasting bonds, a lesson I learned early on and one that continues to inspire my work today.
