  • Crystal Stokely

    I can’t say enough good things about The Real Food Academy. They had our broker group in for a Discovery Day, and it was awesome. I loved the hands on experience, and it was so much fun. Truly a great way to learn, and I love that their focus is on children. It’s so important to teach children at an early age. The Real Food Academy is truly making a difference in their community and hopefully they’ll have franchises in more areas across the US soon.

    I recently had the pleasure of attending a Discovery Day and Thursday cooking class at the Real Food Academy, and I can't recommend it highly enough! As a franchise broker invited along with others with the Franchise Brokers Association, I was eager to learn about this innovative franchise concept that offers cooking classes and birthday parties for both kids and adults. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the owners, Maria and Arthur. Their passion for healthy cooking and commitment to sharing delicious, real, tasty food with the community is truly inspiring. They created an amazing atmosphere that made the experience both enjoyable and educational. During the cooking class, I was impressed by how engaging and interactive the session was. Maria guided us through the process of preparing tasty, healthy meals, providing valuable tips and techniques along the way. It was evident that they are dedicated to empowering individuals and families to embrace a healthier lifestyle through cooking and their classes. What stood out to me the most is their vision of bringing real, tasty food to the masses. This franchise concept is not just about cooking—it's about fostering a love for healthy eating and creating memorable experiences for people of all ages. If you're considering a wellness and food franchise opportunity or simply looking for a fun and educational cooking class, I highly recommend checking out the Real Food Academy. Maria and Arthur have built something truly special, and I can’t wait to see how their franchise flourishes! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
