My Chef Meals are freshly made each week with no preservatives, so eating them soon after the purchase date is best.  Our meals will last up to 7 days in your refrigerator since we chill the food immediately after cooking to ensure freshness.

We use organic ingredients as often as possible, but organic is just one of many characteristics we use to evaluate the food we buy. Ultimately, we attempt to obtain the highest quality food using ingredients that are sourced as close to us as possible. We believe in food that has been minimally processed, thereby maintaining the most nutrients. Additionally, we recognize that some purveyors that aren’t certified organic, use responsible, sustainable methods in their production practices. We now prepare everything in-house now that we make our own seasonings.
