We are preparing meals daily Monday to Friday. There is no set schedule for what we are making daily, we base this on sales and orders. Shelf life is 4-6 days and will have an “enjoy or freeze by” date on the bottom. Most items are freeze-able with the exception of salads and rice noodle rolls.

No, we do not offer hot meals. We don’t even have a microwave on site. Our business model to simply prepared meals to take away and reheat. This allows us to keep our prices down as well. (If you happen to show up after we have finished cooking something, it may be available hot…it’s all about timing!)

Are you a gluten free/nut free facility?
Are you a gluten free/nut free facility?
We are not gluten and nut free. Our food is produced in a kitchen where nuts, dairy, soy, eggs, and wheat (gluten) are used. While we make every effort to avoid cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that foods have not come into contact with one of these, or any other allergens (either in our kitchen or a processing facility). If you have severe allergies, please talk to us about it prior to ordering as we take allergies very seriously.
That being said, we only make a few items with gluten flour. These items are made when no other food is exposed and proper cleaning is done afterwards to minimize risk of contamination.
Where do you purchase your produce and meat?
Where do you purchase your produce and meat?
We use as much organic and/or local produce when and where possible. All of our meat is from Alberta free range farmers.
Why do you consider your meals healthy?
Why do you consider your meals healthy?
We use the freshest ingredients possible in all of our meals and sweets. We do not use any preservatives and nasty ingredients. All of our meals are made with low sea salt but lots of flavour from spices. We think that you can always add in your own salt and extra heat (spice) as needed.
What do you use for packaging?
What do you use for packaging?
Most of our packaging is either recyclable or compostable when empty and cleaned. The only exception are the pouches that our granola's and a few of our cookies come in. We are working to find another solution for these items. They can be recycled in the city, but sadly not in Canmore yet.
