Rose Villa is dedicated to healthy stewardship – of our environment, of our community, of our individual health.  In Dining Services, I am happy to be moving forward with another Rose Villa first -  “Real Food.”  Building on the success and commitment we all have toward our own Farmer’s Market, we are working to create a network of local, family-owned farms to supply ever bigger percentages of the food we eat.  We constantly look for new recipes to try, menus to plan, parties to host that feature wonderful, fresh ingredients for our own Northwest back yard.  I love to get suggestions and ideas from residents, staff, families – really, anyone who loves to eat!

Please join me for a meal sometime!
