Please plan to join us this holiday season and experience the Juniper dining experience for yourself!

We understand that food is foundational to wellbeing. With that in mind, our H’art and Soul of Dining experience is thoughtfully designed to fuel both our bodies and our spirits. This becomes particularly evident during the holidays, a season dedicated to celebration!

Here are a few of the ways our dining program sets us apart at Juniper:

We nourish our bodies through:
- Personalized, flexible meals (low sodium, sugar-free, heart healthy) designed to align with your unique preferences and wellness goals.
- Meals inspired by the Blue Zones, the world's longest-living communities. This approach emphasizes whole foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and lean proteins while limiting dairy and sugar.
- A commitment to freshness and quality by making dishes from scratch, sourcing seasonal produce from local growers, and swapping highly-processed foods with healthier and delicious alternatives.

We nurture our spirits through:
- A warm and inviting all-day dining experience that emphasizes community, connection, and personalized service.
- Live cooking demonstrations and taste testing experiences with our Juniper chefs and community partners.
- Sharing family recipes and cultural traditions.
- Creating extraordinary dining moments and celebratory events.
