School nutrition solutions, shaped by the people who do it.
The Gaia Collective brings together nutrition directors, team leads, and program managers who want a direct hand in where school nutrition is heading. We build Gaia alongside the people who use it.

What you get by joining
Shape the product
Your feedback goes directly to our team. Members get early access to new features and a real voice in what we build next.
Connect with peers
Regular sessions bring together nutrition leaders from districts around the country to share what's working and what's not.
Exclusive access
Members get priority access to Gaia resources, early feature previews, and invitations to in-person events.
Sessions from the Collective
Built for the Pan, Not the Number
A working session on writing recipes that scale without guesswork, and a first look at getting them tested by the Collective before they hit your menu rotation.
Making Sense of Ultra-Processed Foods
Regulators' "ultra-processed" definition diverges from what parents and boards assume. Tarrah Westercamp and Food Label Maker talk about how to review menu items and decide what to change, keep, and defend.
Stay Tuned for More
More sessions are in the works, including a deep dive into allergen management with Nicole Langone and a look at how AI and technology are helping cut food waste, with more to be announced.
