How does local taste?
Pretty amazing, actually!
We purchase directly from local farms whenever possible. Many of those farmers are now partnered with local nonprofits—such as Green Mountain Farm Direct and Vermont FEED. Through those partnerships, our schools can now have their produce delivered directly to their doors.

Good Food Starts with
Great People
At the Abbey Group, our people aren’t just employees. They’re part of the community. When students file into the cafeteria each day for lunch, our workers will often call them by name. They make lunch an experience.
Our people are parents, neighbors, and friends. They’re nurturing, hardworking, and innovative—not afraid to think outside of the box. They take something as routine as lunch and make it extraordinary.
Simple. Wholesome. Delicious.
“The Abbey Group’s team of food service providers have created interesting, tasty and nutritionally appropriate foods for the breakfast and lunch choices that have captured the imaginations and palates of our students and faculty.”
William D. Lawson
Principal | Middlebury Union High School
Have you ever had a yellow watermelon? Students at Cambridge Elementary School have! This was today's rainbow lunch offering, courtesy of The Abbey Group. Nutritious and delicious.
UPDATE: Due to Hurricane Florence, Meals Plus/K12 Payment Center's servers and generator are still down today. They anticipated that all online payments made from 9/13 through today would have been updated by now. However, we have been in contact with them and that is not the case. They are hoping that sometime today those payments will post, but there is no guarantee.
A note for schools that use Meals Plus for meal payments: Hurricane Florence has caused the generators to go down. Payments made in the last 3 or 4 days may not show up in your account. Meals Plus has assured us that payments will be processed as soon as possible. We're sorry for any inconvenience.
What's on the menu Monday for Leland & Gray Union High School, Wardsboro Elementary School, and Jamaica Village School? Fresh, local corn on the cob! Sounds delicious!
