Whether at Eastern Virginia Medical School or Virginia Beach Parks & Rec, our Eat the Rainbow adult or kid-centered workshops have engaged families in hands-on, joyful learning about food and flavor.
Whether at Farmers Markets or Norfolk Public Schools, our salt-free spice blends are helping families & cafeterias alike integrate healthier, flavorful options.
At Langley AFB or Hampton Roads events, military families are experiencing Flavor-First wellness through our pilot programs.
