When Jennifer Desrosiers started Laney & Lu – the inspired eatery! – five years ago, she imbued her intimate downtown Exeter eatery with the values she herself holds dear: being locally connected, focused on wellness, and giving back to the community.
And, of course, smoothie bowls.
“Our mission is to help people improve their holistic health and wellness, while building community,” Jennifer says. “We want to nurture our guests.”
The key aspect to accomplishing this mission is sourcing their food and ingredients locally. Laney & Lu is tapped into a formidable network of over two dozen local farmers and merchants, who provide everything from kale to honey to granola and everything in between.
“We try to source as locally and seasonally as possible,” Jennifer says. “It’s best for our own health and wellness to be eating from our own ecosystem.”
These values, combined with Jennifer’s personal loves of outdoor adventuring and connecting with nature, have made Laney & Lu a perfect match for supporting SELT.
“Wellness and adventure are my two biggest passions so contributing to SELT makes a lot sense,” she says. “To have an organization of like-minded people also supporting local business feels really good.”
