Bites | Feed Your Soul2025.1 - App Store

We help foodies find local cooks of all skill levels who offer a variety of affordable farm-to-table meals anywhere. Choose from meal prep services, drop-off meals, in-home dining experiences, and interactive classroom lunches. No tip, no tax, no service charge, and no delivery fee.

WE ASPIRE to connect people more consciously to their communities and to the earth through memorable, meaningful food-centered experiences that have beneficial impact on people and the planet. We celebrate cultural diversity, promote inclusivity and support community building. We seek to economically empower passionate cooks of all skill levels with creative work opportunities. We seek to give visibility and support to urban farms, micro farms, co-ops, backyard gardens, and community gardens, helping them increase their profits and decrease their waste. We seek to incentivize small and tiny growers to grow more for us locally, sustainably, so we can move away from globalized, commercial food production toward localized, sustainable sourcing of our food.

We also seek to transform all college and university campuses into sustainable food ecosystems. To that end, each time a student foodie places a food order with a student cook at their school, we donate all of our own proceeds back to their school for the purpose of funding food gardens grown on their campus for the benefit of students.
