They say it takes a village. Over the last few years lunch ladies and lunch lads of all ages have served up nutritious food to hundreds of kids...all with a heaping dose of love! We've proven that eating well correlates with increased learning.

We've shown parents and faculty what spikes in glucose levels due to processed foods and sugar look like, and shown them how to avoid those ups and downs with balanced nutrient-dense nutrition. Most importantly, we've set these children up with a foundation of health that will last a lifetime.

"This is the time for us to seize the opportunity to reset our internal selves in order to create balance with our external environment.

We must let our hearts guide us to do what we know to be fundamentally right; for our children, our community, and ourselves."

- Hilary

Hilary Boynton,

founder of  School of Lunch (SOL), is a mother of five who refused to accept the quality of food her children were being served during school lunch.

She began a relentless mission to change the status quo, and eventually took over the lunch program at her local school in Topanga CA. She worked with local farmers and food producers to create an affordable nutrient dense meal program that was based on the foundation of ancestral ways of eating.

The results were astounding. It all stemmed from what she calls a Regen-Living lifestyle, where we strive for a symbiotic relationship between our bodies and our external environment.
