JENNY DEVIVO is a chef, culinary educator, and founder based on Martha’s Vineyard. Her work is grounded in one belief: good food has the power to nourish, connect, and strengthen community.

​

For more than a decade, Jenny has worked across schools, farms, fisheries, kitchens, and community spaces to rethink how people grow, cook, and share food. She built a nationally recognized scratch cooking program for the Up-Island Regional School District and continues to create programs that connect people more closely to seasonal ingredients and local food systems.

​

At the Martha’s Vineyard Boys and Girls Club, Jenny expanded access to fresh prepared meals while teaching young people how to cook and better understand where their food comes from. Her approach is practical, hands-on, and rooted in everyday cooking.

 

Jenny is the founder of Found Foods, a Martha's Vineyard food rescue initiative that transforms surplus ingredients into nourishing meals, creative products, and community food experiences. She is also the founder of The Grazing Table MV, creating locally inspired grazing experiences for gatherings across the Island.​​

 

Her work has been recognized at the Massachusetts State House and featured in regional and national media, including Martha’s Vineyard Magazine, where she regularly contributes writing focused on cooking, food waste, and seasonal living.

​

Through every meal, workshop, and collaboration, Jenny’s work remains centered on thoughtful food, resourcefulness, and community connection.
