Chef Anthony Grady
Luna Market &
Mångata Wine & Raw Bar
Hello! My name is Anthony Grady and I am the Head Chef for Mångata Wine & Raw Bar here in Fargo. I grew up in the foothills of Northern California and spent 15 years cooking in its heartland. The concept of farm to fork is less of an idea and more of a way of life for my family and myself. Being somewhat new to the area I am still learning about a lot about what this region has to offer andI am stoked to be apart of this project!

Shannon Nowak
Director of Nutritional Services
at Dilworth-Glyndon- Felton Public Schools
Hello, I’m Shannon Nowak, the Director of Nutrition Services for the Dilworth Glyndon Felton School District. Eighteen years ago when I started in my first school kitchen as a part time ala carte server, it never occurred to me that it was the first day of my lunch lady career that I would love. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to serve in various capacities on the Board of Directors with the North Dakota School Nutrition Association, National School Nutrition Association, as well as in other ways that help promote school lunch. I believe our programs should serve to create community partnerships that support our school district as a whole, while nourishing and educating those we serve.
