We produce the meal kits in a certified, shared kitchen facility, where nuts, eggs, shellfish, soy, dairy, gluten and other common allergens are handled. Some of our kits have common allergens in them such as soy, peanuts, and gluten. While we follow ServSafe practices, if you have a serious allergy, we do no recommend having our kits, sorry!

Some of our farmers are certified organic (a federally defined standard), others grow ‘beyond organic’: they never use synthetic herbicides or pesticides, they practice remineralization of the soil, and have diverse crops to maintain long-term soil health. Our farmers are great people who are growing food to nourish their community, themselves, and the land.

We source all our beans from Baer’s Best Beans located in the in South Berwick, ME. Charley, Rob and Maggie grow beans of all sorts to nourish and fix nitrogen in soils. BBB dries and cleans the beans. We get them dried, soak and sprout the beans each week, and then par-boil them so you can get that fresh bean taste, without having to cook for an hour and half. You can seriously taste the difference- you’ll never eat canned beans again!

Yes! Indeed our winters here in New England can be harsh, but our grow some fantastic storage crops to last us throughout the winter. We put up a lot of food during the summer during peak harvest, like tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, pesto and garlic scapes to enjoy the fruits of our farmers’ labor all winter. Root cellars prove to be invaluable as well, having lots of squashes, potatoes, onions, rutabagas kohl rabi, garlic and winter radishes all winter long. We even fresh-freeze beautiful locally grown ginger to use in our recipes long after ginger season is over, and do likewise with herbs.
