We create opportunities for connection between meal partners and our local agricultural community.

Our meals are shared on a context-based sliding scale. We fully donate meals to some partners, while we offer subsidized, affordable rates to other recipients.

Community happens when we have the chance to gather and share a meal.

We applaud our fellow organizations who do the good work of distributing raw produce from farm partners. Their work is essential.

But we wanted to offer something different: scratch-made, wholesome meals with the added ingredient of love from the kitchen. We believe that homemade care makes a difference.
