"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."

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.

Each share contains protein, fruits, veggies, and grains, tailored to your share type and size.  We are happy to accommodate your food allergies or aversions. 

Our blog, This Week's Food, captures the ingredients, farmers, and recipes that are featured in every week's share. 

Here's a shot of the Omnivore Whole Share that was delivered to our customers on August 1st, along with a list of ingredients:
