Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any other questions, send us an email!
Sustainability
HOW IS MY PRODUCE GROWN?We have deep relationships with small family farmers who grow the best tasting produce around. We plan our menus seasonally to take advantage of what they have growing right now! These farmers use sustainable or organic growing practices and harvest to order - the produce in your bag is way fresher than anything you’ll get at the grocery store. We work hard to get great local fruits & veggies in your meal kits, but some things don’t grow in Georgia - although local avocados would be delicious 🙂
HOW IS MY MEAT & FISH RAISED?We work with farmers who work hard to raise their animals with humane practices, including feeding their animals hormone- & antibiotic-free vegetarian diets. Our fish is all sustainably raised or caught and recommended by Monterey Bay Seafood Watch. When possible we work to source meats from farms close to home.
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY G&G BAGS AND ICE PACKS?We encourage you to reuse your G&G bags and ice packs or return to G&G! Simply leave on your door step for home deliveries or return to your pick up location and we will reuse them.
IS MY PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?Yes! The packaging that touches your food is recyclable. However, what you can or cannot recycle in your home recycling bin will depend on your county. Please check with your county before disposing of your recyclables.

Our Meal Kits
WHAT IF I HAVE SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS?No problem! With our weekly selection of meals, we hope to have some great options that you can enjoy. If you're staying away from gluten, you'll find most of our meals can be easily altered to avoid gluten and we’ll note if it’s an optional ingredient or not. If you ever have any questions, simply contact us and we’ll help you choose the best fit.
WHAT IF I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES?Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate very specific food allergies at this time. We process a variety of ingredients each week, including the top allergens. We do not have a separate processing area for gluten free items or nut-free items. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
DO I NEED TO WASH MY FRUITS AND VEGGIES?We love our farm fresh fruits and veggies and recommend washing them before cooking as they are often straight from the farm!
HOW LONG ARE THE MEALS GOOD FOR?Everything is packed to stay fresh for several days. We recommend eating your meals within 4-5 days of receiving them, however, some items will definitely stay fresh for longer! Concerned? Put your meats in the freezer, and our veggies are harvested to order, so heartier veggies should be ok! Recipes that include pre-cut items and freshly baked breads should be eaten earlier in the week.
WHAT COMES WITH EACH DELIVERY?Your delivery comes with all the raw ingredients you need to produce meals for the week (based on your subscription), in exactly the right portions. The only ingredients you need in your kitchen are salt, pepper, olive oil & butter, and some recipes will call for wine or beer.
HOW DO I THAW MY MEAT OR FISH?To thaw your meat or fish for dinner this week, place it in the fridge in a plastic bag. To thaw your meat or fish for dinner tonight you can either place in a plastic bag and submerge in cold tap water, or under running cold tap water or thaw in the microwave.
