"Thank you for building a better community through your support of the Better Food Co. Every meal purchased or gifted resulted in those Guelphites who are in need having access to nutritious, and delicious food."
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.
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.
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.
Chef Mathew Pierce discovered his love for cooking in his hometown kitchen, where family meals were a central part of his life. That early spark grew into a deep passion for both traditional flavours and inventive cuisine. After moving to the city to pursue his culinary path, Mathew spent the past decade sharpening his craft in a variety of resorts and hotel kitchens. Today, he’s driven to create dishes that linger in the memory...comforting, exciting, and always full of flavour.
