Your Portable Chef

Nourishing food fuels life: what you eat matters.

That’s why we prepare your meals with the choicest, primarily organic ingredients: fruits and vegetables sourced from local family farms; whole grains; meat and fish sourced from livestock raised in its natural environment – grass-fed beef and lamb, pastured chicken, pork, and eggs, and sustainably harvested fish.

And while these components form the basis of every dish we serve, your needs and tastes are unique. So we specialize each meal to fulfill your dietary requirements and desires, however specific.
