The kids are finishing up camp, work resumes, school starts, families are welcoming new babies, and the general end of summer, beginning of September craze begins.
Meet our go-to solution for chef prepared meals delivered to your door: Kinney Lane.
Since 2018, Kinney Lane has been built around one simple idea: good food should be the easiest decision of your week.
Rachael makes chef-driven prepared food for busy families who want to eat well without the planning, shopping, cooking and cleanup. Everything is made locally with clean, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, with an expanding selection of high-protein and GLP-1-friendly options for the way people are eating today.
The food is made fresh locally and delivered twice a week, so it doesn’t have to be designed to sit on a shelf for weeks. The menu changes every week with the seasons and what Rachael’s excited to cook, while the Kinney Lane favorites customers love remain in regular rotation.
That approach has made @kinneylanefoods one of Fairfield County’s most trusted prepared food companies and a local fan favorite every year since 2021.
Rachael’s mom was Italian, and she grew up spending time at her grandparents’ getaway on Kinney Lane in upstate New York, where they cooked with produce from nearby farms and simple, fresh ingredients. Her father worked in green energy, so sustainability and understanding the impact of what we consume were ingrained in her early.
When her mom passed from COVID, the mission became even more meaningful. Building Kinney Lane became a way to carry forward a piece of her and the way she grew up around food.
Now, Kinney Lane is entering its biggest chapter yet. The team has moved into a larger production kitchen and is transforming the New Canaan space into a full-time Kinney Lane Market, set to fully launch in early autumn.
The vision is simple: fill your fridge. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, produce and staples, all thoughtfully made or sourced and ready when you need them.
Eating well should feel effortless.
