Welcome to Fresh n' Local Foods
About Us
Fresh n’ Local Foods is a locally owned and operated company located in Salem, Oregon. We started our business in 2007 with a passion to increase food quality and source local ingredients for schools. We now serve Boys and Girls Clubs, Meal on Wheels, School Districts in Oregon and Washington, Private Schools, Charter Schools, Head Start Programs, and After Care Programs.
Our Qualities
Wholesome
Our meals meet or exceed the standards set by the National School Lunch Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program in nutrition and variation. We never use artificial colors or flavors or high-fructose corn syrup. Our menus are well-balanced, nutritious, and delicious.
Made from Scratch
All our entrees are made in-house with the freshest ingredients. Our team has spent hours perfecting the flavors, textures, and variations that we come to expect from restaurants and bring them to our kids' school lunch programs. Every meal is carefully made from locally sourced ingredients, from the savory hot lunches to the delicious field trip sack lunches.
Locally Sourced
We strive to work with local farms, local producers and acquire locally sourced ingredients to make our children's meals. From the apples, pears, and blueberries made in Oregon and Washington to the milk and cheese produced in farms surrounding our counties, Fresh n' Local is committed to continually find new items made in the heart of our valley.
