The eco-friendly meal delivery service you can only get around here

By Tanya Edwards, published May 13, 2019

"Food people and busy people — or, in all likeliness, both — have all probably dabbled in meal delivery services like Blue Apron, Sun Basket, Needham-based Purple Carrot, or a CSA share.

"Family Dinner, a food delivery service founded in 2017, mixes the best of both. You sign up online for the share size that is right for your family, or you can pick and choose from a selection of farm fresh and seasonal meats, fish, dairy, and locally produced vegan options. They e-mail you recipe ideas when your order is on the way, and it’s hand-delivered in a reusable bag that you give back the next time you order. Almost everything is wrapped in paper. It’s that simple."

Sweet Dreams are Made of Cheese.

This week we were really excited to connect with Local Goods Gathered in Maine. This group was founded during the pandemic to help promote Maine artisan cheese makers by helping to get their cheese direct to consumers. We're getting cheeses from a variety of their makers to bring to you this week. (Yes! It's cheese two weeks in a row! Time for a cheese board, some vino and episodes of Cobra Kai on Netflix. Is that just me?)

New Fish, Who 'Dis?

The idea of Martha’s Vineyard Smokehouse started with fishing buddies Gus Leaf and Nathan Gould (former head Chef at O Ya, which is heaven on earth). As the two thought about different ways to use their fish they began experimenting with wet and dry brines, different smoking temperatures, and using different woods. Eventually they explored a dry brine hot hickory smoked product that makes the Bluefish Filet and Bluefish Spread, which have become their signature products.

A Confession...

Janet Brown, pictured above, is 100% our favorite customer and I refuse to apologize about it. She also turns 100 years old today and we are dedicating this little newsletter as a birthday card to her.

How it Works

Step 1: Choose your share. There's no commitment. You pay week to week and you can skip or cancel at any time.

Step 2: Curation. We carefully curate each week’s share and place orders with local farmers and food purveyors. Each share contains protein, fruits, veggies and grains. Tell us if you have any allergies or aversions and we'll make substitutions.

Step 3: Cook, eat, and enjoy! We deliver your share at the end of the week. You receive an email with a list of ingredients and recipes. Cook, eat, and share the delicious things you made.
