Good food is the essence of good health and a key in preventing chronic disease. Everyone deserves access to healthy, good-tasting, and affordable food. At the same time, the farmers that produce our food are struggling to make a sustainable living. That’s why we launched Equiti Foods, the maker of Good Bowls.

  • Access for All

    Part one of our mission is to make sure everyone has access to healthy food regardless of where they live or their income. Since nutritious food is the foundation of personal health and key in preventing chronic disease we want to ensure everyone has access to the nutrition they need - strengthening our neighbors and communities.

    In addition to grocery stores freezers and home delivery - Good Bowls are available through countless programs throughout the state as we try to reach rural communities, food deserts, and underserved populations.

  • Support the Food System

    We’ve learned that a healthy community needs a strong local food system. The second part of our mission is to support the local food economy - we source our ingredients from local North Carolina farms when possible. Over the years we’ve developed relationships with farmers across the state as well as with aggregators such as Farmer Foodshare and Happy Dirt.

    We also produce our Good Bowls at our local kitchens in Hillsborough and Pittsboro - keeping the jobs right here in the Triangle. So that Good Bowl in your freezer supports people from the farm, to the distribution centers, to the commercial kitchens - leading to a robust food economy for North Carolina.

For over five years Good Bowls has been driven by its mission and has grown throughout the state of North Carolina. In addition to just reaching people geographically we’ve also expanded access for people with special dietary needs. Good Bowls offers a full medically tailored meals line up that meets the guidelines for carb-controlled, kidney friendly, and heart healthy meals.

In recent years we’ve distributed hundreds of thousands of standard healthy meals and medically tailored meals to communities across NC, with over 150,000 of those Bowls going to Medicaid recipients through the NC Healthy Opportunities Pilot. We’ve reached other populations and communities through programs with UNC Health, NourishedRx, Humana, Wellcare, Blue Cross NC, and many more.

North Carolina realizes the importance of healthy citizens and healthy communities and recently announced the North Carolina Rural Health Transformation Plan that will begin in 2026. Good Bowls is excited about this investment in our community and is excited to help with this shared mission wherever we can. Stay tuned…
