At Harvest Hill Assisted Living, food isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience that provides comfort, connection and community. Executive Chef Brian Pike leads a team that takes pride in crafting meals with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create a dining experience that’s both nutritious and memorable for residents.
Local Ingredients, Regional Flavor
Pike partners with produce vendors and U.S. Foods to bring in seasonal ingredients from across New England. The Harvest Hill kitchen regularly uses locally-sourced strawberries, blueberries, lettuce, tomatoes and fresh fish. “We use as much local produce as we can,” Pike said. “The taste and freshness are just better. You can’t beat fresh.”
This commitment to local sourcing not only boosts flavor and quality but also reflects a focus on supporting sustainable food systems and healthy aging in senior living.
Resident Favorites, Staff Picks
Harvest Hill residents love their salads, especially the mesclun greens with fresh berries, candied walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette. It’s a light, flavorful dish that showcases the best of the season. “Our staff loves the fried haddock,” Pike said. “It’s a classic, and the locally-sourced fish really makes it stand out.”
Fresh produce is incorporated into as many items on the menu as possible, from breakfast to dinner, balancing variety and nutrition throughout the week.
More Than a Meal
Dining is central to the sense of community at Harvest Hill and the culinary team is committed to serving food that not only tastes good but also fosters connection. Residents gather to enjoy meals, catch up with neighbors and share stories over dishes that reflect the season. “Our residents notice the quality of the ingredients and the freshness of the meals,” Pike said. “We get feedback all the time, and that helps us keep improving.”
