Our Story
The Harvest Academy was born out of Chef Supreme’s passion for service and his profound understanding of the healing power of food. An U.S. Army veteran and seasoned chef, Chef Supreme has always believed that food is medicine. When a product donation from Tofurky presented him with an opportunity to serve his community, he chose to feed the people rather than profit from it. This single act of kindness, in turn, sowed the seeds for The Harvest Academy and the ’10K Meals Across LA’ initiative. With an ambitious goal to serve 100,000 meals across Los Angeles within the next decade, Chef Supreme’s journey is a testament to his vision of creating a healthier and happier world through the power of food.
