Growing Leaders in action preparing meals 

Growing Leaders is excited to be back for the new school year.  As many of you know, our business took a hiatus last spring for a full kitchen renovation.  Please come by and see our new space! We are particularly excited about finally having a 3 compartment sink and dishwasher to tackle the mountain of dishes we produce. We look forward to seeing how our business will continue to develop in our new space.   Our first 3 weeks have been familiarizing ourselves with the garden and kitchen space, developing our knife skills, and learning the health and safety protocols behind running a food business.

Check out our newly remodeled kitchen!
​
It is AWESOME!

Our amazing staff!
