Our Story
Global Food Solutions is a progressive foodservice partner that is uniquely positioned to create affordable and inspired foods for commercial and institutional foodservice operators.
​
Starting from humble roots in our home in 2004, we had a vision that would change how we looked at the next 20 years. We believed we could change the way people looked at, thought about, and purchased their favorite foods, and we were passionate about feeding students across America.
Global Food Solutions is devoted to the development and distribution of affordable, wholesome, and sustainable food products. From our inception in 2004 to currently serving over 5,000 schools and a variety of healthcare, academic, and hospitality institutions around the country, we have grown from a belief that when a company is built on sustainable values and is driven to provide the best for customers, better food just comes naturally.

Proudly family owned and operated since 2004.
