Chef Matt is Making a Real Difference in School Kitchens
Chef Matt Toepfer trained in classical French cooking before joining OrganicLife nearly two years ago. His journey in the kitchen began at age 14, and that early passion has shaped his approach to school nutrition ever since.
Having grown up without dependable access to nutritious meals, Chef Matt is driven by a mission to deliver food that is both healthy and delicious to students. "Every menu must of course meet nutritional standards, but taste, complexity, variety and portion size are equally important," he explains.
Chef Matt conducts regular taste tests and feedback sessions with students, teachers and staff to ensure menus reflect authentic preferences. His leadership style emphasizes personal connection through active listening, consistent attention to participation metrics and culinary expertise in guiding kitchen teams.
What Makes OrganicLife Different
Our philosophy centers on the idea that better food programs are created by real people, not systems.

We take a collaborative approach with districts, incorporating feedback and customizing programs for unique school community needs.
Fresh, Thoughtful Menus
Scratch cooking and seasonal inspiration maintain student engagement and excitement about school meals.
Transparent, Responsive Communication
