5. Bin and packaging
Your meals are hand packaged at our city kitchen with care in a reusable bin with freezer packs. We pack the bin to ensure that your product remains fresh for up to 5 hours from packing, while in transition to your home. For best results, please ensure that you unpack your bin immediately and place your food into your fridge or freezer.

Please re-use and leave the bin and freezer packs on your front porch on your next delivery date for re-cycling purposes and to ensure no additional cost for packaging. We also pick up bins on a weekly schedule, and let us know if you'd like your bin picked up.

We recommend that fresh salads, side vegetables, and entrees are eaten within the first 2 days. Please freeze items that you wish to enjoy later, and keep frozen items frozen until you are ready to defrost and eat.
