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
Thank you to our friends and partners at the Healthy Roots Collaborative for their kind words! We're all in this together.The Abbey Group is an amazing partner of ours. Not only do they donate to our farm to school work each year but during this pandemic they are bringing amazing amounts of food into the charitable food system. They don’t stop at donations either - here we are loading up onions, tomatoes, pears and milk for delivery. 🙏🏼Thank you!!!!
