At Genuine Foods, we believe good food does more than nourish. It builds health, creates community, and unlocks potential. Every day, our teams are turning everyday meals into memorable experiences through scratch-made dishes, hospitality that goes beyond the plate, and systems that ensure consistency and care at scale.

To build on this strong foundation, we are adding two leaders who bring both creativity and discipline to the table: Justin Fischer, Vice President of Culinary, and Joshua Ingraham, Director of Systems and Continuous Improvement.

For the third year in a row, Genuine Foods has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing privately held companies. This recognition is more than a milestone—it’s proof that growth and purpose can go hand-in-hand.

When we first made the list, we were proud. Now, three years in, the feeling is different. The pride is still there, but so is a deeper understanding of what it takes to grow quickly without losing sight of why you started in the first place.

Genuine Foods is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Lafayette Square, a mission-driven investment firm focused on supporting working class communities across the country.

This partnership marks an important milestone in our continued growth as a founder led and founder funded company. With Lafayette Square’s support, we are expanding our reach, deepening our investment in local economies, and creating more opportunities to serve high-quality, scratch-made meals that support wellness, equity, and connection.

Barre Unified Union School District has been honored with the Healthy Meals Incentives Recognition Award for Excellence in Nutrition Education. This national distinction celebrates school meal programs transforming student health, engagement, and well-being through food. 

Genuine Foods is proud to partner with New Mexico Junior College (NMJC) to celebrate the grand reopening of the Thunderbird Lounge and Grill. This updated dining destination reflects our shared commitment to providing high-quality food and creating vibrant spaces for students, faculty, and staff to connect and thrive.

Genuine Foods, the dining service provider at Eastern Oregon University (EOU), is excited to announce a new partnership with Sorbenots Coffee, a local roaster based in Baker City, OR, with an outpost in La Grande. Beginning this fall, Sorbenots’ coffee and specialty beverages will be available on campus at Mac’s Grill in the Hoke Union Building.
