This Thanksgiving, celebrate what matters most: good food, good company, and the farmers and chefs who make it all possible.
With UMass Fresh, you can bring home a holiday dinner prepared by our award-winning UMass Dining chefs, featuring ingredients sourced from farms right here in the Pioneer Valley. Each dish is made with care, rooted in the same sustainability and local partnerships that support UMass Dining year-round. Online ordering for Thanksgiving meals opens November 3, 2025.
When you order from UMass Fresh, you’re not just getting a delicious, pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner: you’re supporting local growers, bakers, and producers who share our commitment to sustainability and good food done right.
Our chefs, Bob Bankert, Tony Jung, and Pamela Adams, have created a menu that blends tradition with local flavor, using fresh, seasonal ingredients from partners like Czajkowski Farm, Warm Colors Apiary, Mapleline Farm, Diemand Farm, Cold Spring Orchard, and the UMass Student Farm.
By sourcing from local farms, we keep our food miles low and our impact local.
So, this Thanksgiving, let us do the cooking–and join us in giving thanks to the people who grow, harvest, and craft the foods that make our community thrive.
