The Difference is in the Details

We source only the best ingredients for our meals. Gluten-free, grass-fed,pasture-raised and organic

We believe that you are not only what you eat – You are what you eat eats. In other words, you're only as good as the fuel you fill up with.

One of the differentiating components of The Good Kitchen and the service we provide is how we source the ingredients we use in our meals. Five years ago, we (then modPALEO) began as a way to feed a small group of friends from our gym. As we grew, we continued to look at our ingredients with the same integrity as those we feed ourselves. And we still do. This means we only want the best. For us. For you. So, we use only 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef (why is that important?); pasture-raised poultry, pork, eggs, lamb and turkey, and Seafood Watch compliant seafood items. And produce that is organic when available and necessary (we subscribe to the Dirty Dozen philosophy).

We work with farmers who utilize Animal Welfare standards and GAP certifications, promote sustainability and – through recent partnerships with Savory Institute – are working to push sustainability a step further to encompass regenerative agriculture. We source produce from farms and farmers using Organic practices. While they may not all be certified Organic, we know their practices and we eat the produce they provide.
