"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.
Brian Baker is the Food Production Lead at Hope House, where he brings nearly 25 years of culinary experience and a deep commitment to community care. Growing up around restaurants — and learning from his father, Red Seal Chef Dan Baker of Delicious Direct — Brian developed a love for cooking early on and has since worked in a range of kitchen settings, from grocery stores and bars to family diners and fine dining.
He now leads food production full-time, using his skills to create nourishing meals, reduce food waste, and serve the community with dignity and heart.
We're grateful to have Brian as part of the Better Food Co. team, quietly leading with experience, humility, and care.
For the cost of the takeout meal, you can purchase a meal today that supports The Better Food Company and our community work.
