Gather Around Nutrition — Local services in Portland

Highly recommending Gather Around Nutrition! I had the privilege of working with Johanna and Jed on two small group retreats 9-15 people. Planning with them was a pleasure, I felt listened and responded to and an openness to really understand what our group needs. They truly are Farm to Table. We were lucky to have fall retreats and each day we were treated to fresh foods from both of their gardens and locally sourced farms in the area. Every meal was memorable, tasty, healthy and conscious of our many special food requests ie Gluten/Dairy Free etc. Our chef's arrived on time and ready to cook each day and executed excellent meals again and again! Mid week we had to adjust food amounts to accommodate the eating happening and Johanna was able to find solutions immediately and we were adjusted by the next meals. It was nice to be able to bring last minute changes and be met with good attitudes and willingness to please. The participants were happy with the food selections and varieties and we all felt well nourished throughout the week. We are already booked for our retreats in 2024 and look forward to continuing our relationship with Gather Around Nutrition and Jed and Johanna! Thanks again for an...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Johanna! My family ended up in Portland for a medical emergency. I have complicated dietary restrictions and food allergies, and finding safe food in restaurants is not easy for me. Shortly after we got here, a friend suggested Johanna. She began delivering individually packaged meals for us that we could eat in our room or take to the hospital. The meals were tailored to our specific needs and based on our preferences. The meals were always safe, healthy, and delicious! She paid meticulous attention to my allergies, and she delivered a wide variety of tastes and flavors. It was such a blessing to have safe, healthy meals ready to eat whenever we were ready to eat them. Not having to think about meals took a huge burden off me during a very difficult time. I have recommended Johanna to friends in Portland, and I will use her again when we are next in town—hopefully for a family getaway next...

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jed & Johanna "behind the scenes" during one of our spiritual community's retreats, as I was our group's catering liaison. It was truly impressive how they navigated complex dietary needs & schedule adjustments! They were always professional and held consistent care and commitment to providing high quality, nourishing food to every member of our group. Every meal of this 5 day retreat was delicious. Our retreats are energy intensive and it's very important that we are refueled and well resourced. Jed & Johanna took care of this for us! And, their commitment to social justice and health is evident. There was an added layer of nourishment provided through the stories of our food sources and the casual conversations we had around food and life. In addition to being fabulous chefs, they are awesome humans! I look forward to working with them again! We're booked for several more...
