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. Honest. 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
We had some special helpers at Fairfield yesterday!The Fuel Up to Play 60 Core Team, the Abbey and the Healthy Snack Crew teamed up this week to help all students enjoy PACK week! Thanks Erica and Adi for helping Miss Elaine and Miss Tammy serve lunch today!
A student at Stratford Public School saved his apple seeds from lunch and is now growing a tree!
Our people are more than just employees; they're artists! As seen at Castleton Elementary School.
We had the pleasure of interviewing students in Missisquoi Valley Union Middle/High School's Animal Science II class today for a video about their new partnership with us. The class will provide local beef to the cafeteria to be served at lunch in May. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for that video!
