Who are we?

At Life Support Foods, we are more than just a food, wellness, and hospitality company—we are a reflection of the powerful stories that shape us and the cultures that inspire us. Rooted in the heart of Baltimore, our founder, Keona Hogan, was raised by a single mother whose dedication to community and upliftment instilled in her a deep sense of responsibility and care. Keona’s culinary journey is steeped in the traditions and recipes passed down by her grandmother, with a special nod to the camping and fishing traditions of her family. Every dish we serve holds a piece of that legacy, rich in love, culture, and history, and invites you to experience something truly meaningful.

Our Philosophy
We believe that food, water, and all that we consume are not just sustenance—they are medicine. They are powerful tools for healing and transformation, offering joy, energy, and a deeper connection to our roots. What we eat becomes a part of us, influencing our energy, health, and overall well-being. We are committed to fostering an energetic relationship between our food, our bodies, and the Earth itself. Through mindfulness and presence in every bite, we aim to help people reconnect with themselves and the world around them.

The Modern Disconnect
In today’s fast-paced world, many have lost touch with the traditions, values, and wisdom passed down through generations. As we rush through life, we often forget to honor the sources of our food and the energy that goes into preparing it. The saying "you are what you eat" has never been more true—our food impacts not just our health, but our spirit. It’s not about labels or trends like plant-based versus meat; it’s about understanding the intention and care that goes into nurturing life, whether plant or animal.

Our Vision
Life Support Foods is committed to guiding people back to the basics—back to whole foods, plant-based healing, and mindful eating practices that honor the Earth and our ancestors. By drawing from the wisdom of diverse cultures and blending old-world traditions with modern wellness practices, we help people reconnect with their bodies, minds, and spirits. We offer not only nourishing meals, but also experiences that encourage healing, creativity, and emotional wellness.

Join Us on the Journey
We invite you to join us in creating a lifestyle rooted in tradition and relevance. At Life Support Foods, we’re not just serving meals—we’re serving experiences that nourish your soul and reconnect you to the deep, transformative power of food, wellness, and community. Let’s come together to create a world where balance, healing, and connection are the true essentials.
