Our Story

In March 2016, at a hospital hit hard by Ebola on the outskirts of Monrovia, Liberia, our founder, Taylor Quinn, met with the Head Pediatrician, Dr. Jude. Over a long conversation Dr. Jude shared:

I treat malnourished children at my hospital with what UNICEF provides me, but I know most of these kids will die once I send them home. And there is no advice I can give to their mothers - there simply is no nutritious food available in local markets.

This sparked a multi-year journey dedicated to designing and bringing to market nutritious, delicious, low-cost food in Liberia. As we started diving further into the landscape of food and malnutrition globally, we realized what our team was learning each day in Liberia could have far broader implications.

Tailored Food was born to partner with ambitious local nutrition entrepreneurs in designing and selling food products to families hardest hit by malnutrition. The key to this, is access to affordable food products that are delicious, culturally-relevant, nutritious, and locally produced. Tailored is not a food company, but is a lean social enterprise consultancy that partners with local leaders in the markets we work. We have helped produce and sell over 6.8 million meals to the lowest-income families.
