Hemma Kitchen: Locally Sourced Organic Meal Delivery in Fairfield County

Some days, you just don’t want to cook at home, but you want to serve yourself or your family a healthy delicious meal. Sure, you can order in from a local restaurant, but those dishes seldom come with an ingredients list, and more often than not, are a long way from locally or organically sourced. Enter Hemma Kitchen, a Fairfield County based meal planning solution to the never ending conundrum…what do I serve for dinner tonight?

In Swedish, the word "hemma" embodies the concept of home. In today's fast-paced world, the significance of eating at home and having healthy meals cannot be overstated and directly impacts our quality of life. Eating at home provides an opportunity to take control of our nutrition, allowing us to prioritize wholesome ingredients. Hemma Kitchen allows you to enjoy healthy home cooked meals every day of the week. 

At the helm of Hemma Kitchen is a chef with whom you may already be familiar, Chef Molly Healey. Healey was the owner of the much beloved Manna Toast in Westport before launching Hemma.

Hemma Kitchen offers an a la carte weekly menu, easily browsable online. Menu items are based on the seasons as well as what Healey can procure at local farmers’ markets and specialty stores carrying organic ingredients. For Healey, finding the very best ingredients, sourced as locally as possible, is critical to her mission. 100% of her meat is from Matt Storch’s Saugatuck Provisions. Her organic salmon is from Maine. Everything you find on the Hemma menu is also free from: refined sugar, seed oils, preservatives, gums and fillers.

On any given week, entrées may include dishes including: Spicy Lamb Bolognese, Salmon Burgers, Mojo Grilled Chicken Thighs, Mushroom Carnitas or Beef Stew. “Fan favorites are definitely the carrot muffins, which I can’t take off the menu because people complain,” says Healey. Additionally, Healey always has a few more kid-forward selections on the menu such as her GF egg-free Chicken Tenders.

We had the opportunity to sample her highly addictive Salmon Burgers, eaten in lettuce wraps with “crack” coconut yogurt tzatziki. It’s worth noting that the lettuce accompanying the burgers was not your average greens, but some of the most beautiful Bibb lettuce I’ve eaten. We also greatly enjoyed her Mojo Grilled Chicken, and a wonderful butternut squash soup. Every vegetable, salad and grain side dish were packaged beautifully and were great even several days after their delivery. The idea is that with a single, you can have meals for the entire week.

New menus drop every Thursday at 9am, and customers can order by Sunday at 5pm for Tuesday evening delivery in Fairfield County.

It is worth noting that Hemma Kitchen is not a budget meal delivery service. The Organic produce, farm sourced, and locally sourced ingredients, as well as the sustainable packaging place her menu a bit higher than some other meal delivery services. But, honestly…it’s worth it.
