OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to make healthy choices easier + to foster a strong and critical connection between local growers, consumers, communities + those in need. We envison a world where each of us can create lasting impact in our communities, on our planet and eachother by simply re-thinking how we eat.
Beyond ZERO WASTE
The core of our company’s mission is social and environmental responsibility. Over 90% of plastic is not being recycled. We refuse to sit back and do nothing as these are problems we cannot ignore. We are driven by purpose and are building a company which provides a real solution instead of adding to the problem. Our products and services have a goal of zero packaging waste by offering the option to return your jars back to us for reuse.
We are mindful of how much produce we source and use what we order. Our Simply Smart Fridges™ have live inventory management which allows us to optimize offerings at each location to minimize or eliminate spoilage.
Zero waste is a wonderful goal but how much more wonderful would it be if we could go beyond zero? The idea came from our founder wanting a real solution that extends beyond our organization. We are committed to going beyond zero waste with the help of our amazing customers. We encourage you to return empty jars back to us to be cleaned and reused. For every single jar that you return to us, we will help feed someone in need. This allows you to take a step beyond reducing waste by making more impact in your community.

Our Roots
We began in the great city of Philadelphia with the desire to make healthier food not only easily accessible but also really really really tasty (we take tastiness seriously), nutritionally balanced, and completely satisfying. We believe that everyone deserves better meal options, and with professional chefs with years in the industry, we bring a unique approach to the new world of healthy eating. Our meals are made from the best locally grown ingredients and we are quickly expanding our recipes and company every day.
