We’re proud to support team members who are leading important conversations around food allergy awareness and inclusivity in dining. This reflection from Rachel following the FARE Summit 2025 is a powerful reminder that food allergies impact millions. Creating safe, inclusive dining environments is a responsibility we all share. We are grateful to work alongside passionate leaders who are committed to learning, advocating, and creating meaningful change. One table, one meal, one voice at a time. #harvesttablecg #campusdining #campushospitality #foodwithpurpose #everymealtellsastory #faresummit2025
I don’t live with a food allergy and when I became a dietitian I never thought it would be something I would work so closely with. And that’s the problem. When 33+ million people live with food allergies, 1/13 children and 11% of adults, it WILL touch you in some way. Especially if you are a health professional. When we being to consider the inclusivity of the dining experiences we create, we begin to invite ALL people safely to the table. In our own homes, in schools, in restaurants, everywhere we eat… THIS MATTERS The FARE Summit 2025 was an inspiring, educational, heartwarming and heartbreaking experience all at the same time. The food allergy community is filled with strong, resilient, and passionate voices that are change makers. They have come so far and yet have so far to go. Much work is to be done, and we ALL have a role in this story. Working to make our food environments safer is EVERYONES job. If it hasn’t touched you yet, I encourage you to join the conversation. Seek information, learn more, and do what you can. If you’re already in the conversation, keep working, louder and with the truth that you are making a difference. I have so much gratitude to have the continuous opportunities to make an impact with food allergies. I cannot thank my team at Harvest Table Culinary Group enough for helping me grow with encouragement to challenge myself. A huge thank you to my director Wilkenson Pierre and my Denison Hospitality team for believing in me to help lead the charge. And of course, none of this would be possible without the fearless Allyson West, RD, LDN for empowering me to WORK LOUDER everyday. YOU GOT IT! We are mission extenders and WE are making a difference. #faresummit2025 Special shoutout to Sweet Loren’s for being incredible brand partners and Betsy Craig + everyone at FARE for making it so sweet!
