We Cook From Scratch – Always

Our commitment to preparing and serving authentic, chef-driven menus follows us wherever we go.

On-Site Kitchen Management

Our goal is to serve our handmade food as close to the time it was prepared as possible. We are always excited to partner with schools and businesses that have full kitchens where we can set up shop and cook on site daily.

Our Commissary

We custom built our 5,000-square-foot commissary kitchen—we call it Base Camp—to allow us to prepare from-scratch meals for local schools and businesses that lack on-site kitchens. Customers and partners are always welcome to stop by for a tasting or to see our chefs in action. We deliver meals in our dual-zone climate-controlled trucks.

We Source Responsibly

Our passionate chefs use the best ingredients they can find to guarantee delicious and nutritious end products.

Fresh Produce

Natural and organic fruits, vegetables, greens, and herbs harvested at the peak of freshness for the highest nutritional content

Meat, Dairy & Eggs

Beef, pork, poultry, goat, and lamb from naturally raised animals; fresh dairy and eggs from Midwestern farms

Dry Goods

Non-GMO grains, flours, beans, and other dry goods that are responsibly grown, milled, and processed

We Know Our Producers

We are proud to work with local farmers and other producers we trust.

We Are Part of the Community

Our mission extends beyond preparing and serving delicious daily meals.

Continued Learning

We strive to engage the community and launch conversations around food, culture, and nutrition.

Depending on each community’s desire for such programming, we develop and lead lunch-and-learns, clubs, camps, demos, and workshops. At a minimum, we provide “food for thought” via our informative menu writing and signage.
