SHIFT | The Healthy Lunch Kitchen.
The SHIFT Healthy Lunch Kitchen is a social enterprise that is ‘reimagining’ school lunches with school communities.
The Healthy Lunch Kitchen commenced in March 2021, in just its first 12 weeks has served over 70% of the school community nutritious and affordable meals per week.
During this prototyping and trial phase, HFA are testing all processes and procedures related to running the Healthy Lunch Kitchen. The trial phase will continue throughout 2021 after which a full review and assessment will be conducted before deciding to fully scale-up operations within the Hepburn Shire.
As the Healthy Lunch kitchen scales-up to provide lunches to other schools within the shire, and also to offer lunches and produce to a wider community base, we will require a larger commercial kitchen space.
Demand is increasing, and other schools are already registering their interest to come on board.
This big vision is of a larger Healthy Lunch Kitchen operating out of a purpose-built facility which also contains fish and vegetable production via aquaponics, and is powered by organic food matter into biogas.
The entire SHIFT enterprise then becomes a place for agriculture, aquaculture, and commercial cooking, learning and training. This will bring enormous economic and social benefits to communities searching for bold interventions that impact their very fabric and quality of life.
Farmers will receive fair prices for their produce and we will open new sales channels for them that are local and sustainable. Fresh and affordable produce boxes will be developed for families.
