Starting the year right with getfresh: Healthy, delicious meals for a sustainable future

Written by getfresh

As the new school year kicks off, it’s the perfect time to embrace healthy eating habits that benefit both our bodies and the planet. At getfresh, we believe every meal is an opportunity to nourish with intention while celebrating the rich and diverse flavours of Thailand.

We are excited and honoured to have been selected by St Andrews to provide fresh, nutritious meals for the school community. We aim to exceed the expectations of students, parents, and teachers, delivering food that not only tastes great but also supports a healthier lifestyle.

Over 95% of our ingredients are sourced from farms across Thailand, helping us reduce our carbon footprint while supporting local farmers. From the rice paddies of Isaan to the fresh produce of Chiang Mai, we prioritise local, fresh ingredients to ensure the best quality while minimising environmental impact. We’re also committed to sustainability by reducing food waste—running a food recovery program to help feed communities in need, sending scraps to fish farms, and advancing plastic recycling initiatives.

But we’re not just serving food; we’re driving change through culinary creativity. With student-led programs like Meatless Mondays, we show the community that plant-based meals can be delicious and fun, helping them make more sustainable and thoughtful choices. Our goal is to inspire a love for food that’s as good for the planet as it is for our health.

We take pride in adapting to student needs—whether it’s offering diverse global cuisines, supporting local farmers, or accommodating dietary restrictions. Together, we can make this school year the tastiest, healthiest, and most sustainable yet.
