About Us

Who We Are

 Go Weh Yaza, LLC was founded with a clear vision: to deliver high-quality, culturally grounded, and value-driven institutional food services management. We proudly serve a diverse range of clients, including tribal schools, private-sector institutions, universities and colleges, and civilian and military agencies—bringing operational excellence, cultural respect, and dependable results to every partnership. 

Our Services

 

Go Weh Yaza, LLC is guided by our philosophy, “Healthy Cuisine – Rooted in Culture – Honoring Traditions.” This approach reflects our deep respect for the histories and legacies of American Indian and Indigenous Tribal–inspired cuisines across the United States. By blending culinary artistry, modern techniques, and nutritious, well-balanced meals, we deliver food service solutions that honor tradition while meeting contemporary standards.


Our distinctive brand and approach align with American Indian institutional menu preferences while fully meeting the dietary, regulatory, and program requirements of private-sector and government agencies. We are also committed to strengthening Native economies by creating opportunities for American Indian businesses and providing employment preference to qualified American Indian Tribal members.

What Makes Us Unique

 Go Weh Yaza, LLC is a Joint Venture legal entity formed by Southwest Business Development Consultants, LLC and Acorn Food Services, Inc. This strategic partnership positions the company to perform across multiple sectors, including corporate, education, healthcare, military, government, and corrections, while supporting Buy Indian Act and Small Business set-aside contracting opportunities solicited by federal agencies within the United States and internationally.


As a small, Native American–owned business, Go Weh Yaza maintains close operational oversight, enabling rapid response to changing mission requirements, workforce needs, and client expectations. Our organizational structure supports flexibility, accountability, and timely decision-making, providing advantages not typically found in larger firms.
