ABOUT OUR SUPER DIETARY MANAGER, Madi Sweigart
Some things are just meant to be.
Madi Sweigart started with basic meal prep, serving, and kitchen duties at Blacksmith Fork in 2023. So, when the previous Dietary Manager was ready to move on, Madi was recommended to fill the role.
Madi’s love of preparing food started as a child. Watching cooking shows with mom and grandma were some of her most vivid memories, then helping them create food memories in the kitchen. Maybe the most valuable lesson Madi learned in those family food prep times was the honor in preparing food for those you love.
Now Madi pours that love and pleasure of preparing food into the kitchen and residents at Blacksmith Fork. She considers it a privilege to be a big part of their lives. She loves to give them a connection to the past with food that reminds them of where they came from, whether that’s Italian food, deserts, or all American, like hamburgers and hotdogs.
Madi is grateful she can provide the gift of good food to some of the people she cares about the most.
