Azuluna Foods: Executive Chef and Co-Founder - Rachael LaPorte
Rachael LaPorte was raised on a self-sustaining family farm in Lebanon, CT. “I grew up on a kitchen counter. No matter the season, we were making stew, canning, and preserving. This was our family time,” she says. With these early influences, Rachael decided to pursue a culinary career and graduated cum laude from Johnson and Wales University. After graduation, Rachael took the time to travel the world, allowing her to work under many chefs with a variety of culinary expertise. Returning to CT, she earned a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Saint Joseph.
Rachael began to struggle with her health and began a weight loss journey. She developed both a knowledge and a passion for healthy eating and wellness. The result? Rachael lost over 100 pounds! Rachael’s same eating principals are what fuel Azuluna Foods today and empower others with the tools to meet their personal health goals!
