Craig Ward Jr. is a dedicated advocate for good health and the power of mindful choices, driven by a passion to provide nourishing options that truly benefit our bodies. As a young father, Craig’s love for his family’s well-being became a catalyst for his journey to create a business that aligns with his values. Realizing the importance of health, not only for himself but for his children and future generations, he was inspired to pursue his vision of bringing wholesome, plant-based meals to his community.

The idea for Ward of Health was born from Craig's personal journey toward better health and his desire to offer an alternative to the often unhealthy options prevalent in the food industry. He saw a gap in the market; healthy, plant-based food that was both accessible and packed with flavor. Craig wanted to create a place where people didn’t have to compromise between taste and nutrition, a place that could transform the way people viewed plant-based eating. His mission was simple but powerful: to help people realize that eating well can be both delicious and empowering.

Craig believes that health and wellness are legacies we can pass down, and that we must be conscious of the habits we model for our children. This awareness fuels his ambition to make Ward of Health more than just a restaurant; it’s a movement towards a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle for everyone. With over a decade of experience in the food industry, from fast food management to bartending and serving, Craig brings a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to quality to every aspect of his business.

His core principles of organization, cleanliness, and consistency are reflected in Ward of Health’s foundation, ensuring every meal is crafted with care and integrity. For Craig, Ward of Health isn’t just about providing great food—it’s about creating a community that values health, well-being, and positive choices for generations to come. By starting Ward of Health, Craig hopes to inspire others to make conscious decisions about what they eat and to experience the joy of nurturing their bodies with food that fuels both body and spirit.
