We're creating a Better Food System in Guelph.

To us, a Better Food System is one that is building community through better food. Here's how our project works:

1. You Purchase our Locally Sourced and Healthy Meals

Our meals are prepared using produce grown on our farm and other local farms as much as possible. We then partner with local restaurants and chefs to create our 100% Made in Guelph meals.

2. 100% of your Sale Supports our Food Programs

Through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Hope House has access to an 8.4 acre plot of land in Guelph where we grow over 10,000 pounds of farm-fresh produce every year. All profits from our meals are invested into our community food work.

3. We Build Community by Sharing Food

In 2023 alone, we shared over $667,000 of groceries through our community food market and with other food security agencies in Guelph. By purchasing a meal, you help make our Better Food System possible.

Better Community.

For the same effort as takeout, you can help sustain a food system where healthy food is shared with those who need it. We have a responsibility to share the food that our farm shares with us.

September 2024's meal created by

Chef Ethan of Park Eatery

"I became curious about cooking at a young age by watching my mother and Nana. I was always asking questions about their process until they told me to get out of the kitchen. With my budding passion for cooking, I started my first job at a bakery in Southampton and from there, I was hooked.

I soon realized that cooking was the perfect way to combine my love of chemistry and being creative. I strive to push myself by using unique and down right obscure ingredients to create dishes that keep the love I have for cooking alive.

I've always seen cooking as a way to express myself and the culture around me. I hope that I will continue to showcase my talents and ideas for many years to come."

But we're not just about the tasty treats, we're a proud Living Wage employer and partner with numerous local non-profits and community groups.

We can choose to use our money for good.

We've worked hard for our money. Let's have it work hard for us by supporting socially conscious community work.
