Food As Wellness

Brightwater: A Center for the Study of Food is the first community college and first nursing program in the U.S. to license curriculum from Tulane University's Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine.

Brightwater is also the first to offer a systems-based approach to culinary training. We believe that wellness encompasses sustainable farming practices, healthy community relationships, and the well-being of individuals through local food

To that end, we promote a variety of activites and courses of study in culinary nutrition, applied farming, seasonal cooking and whole-animal butchery.

Courses with an emphasis on Food As Wellness:

• Culinary Nutrition
• Applied Farming
• Preservation
• World Cuisine
• Whole-Animal Butchery
