Do I have to be home for delivery?
If you aren't home when the delivery is made, that’s totally fine! TSP will provide you with an tote bag along with an ice pack for your first delivery then you will be responsible for leaving the insulated bag, ice pack or any sort of cooler or refrigeration on your doorstep for future deliveries. We encourage you to refrigerate the meals as soon as you receive them. Please be sure to specify your delivery instructions (access codes, location to leave meals, etc) in your cart notes.
Why are your meals more expensive than others on the market?
It's not about being inexpensive! We could certainly lower the price, but then our meals would lose their value. They wouldn't embody the essence of having a personal chef who creates wholesome, high-quality dishes. Our meals wouldn't be made from grass-fed, pasture-raised, wild-caught, organic, or locally sourced ingredients. Instead, they would be loaded with preservatives, artificial ingredients, and unhealthy components. That's just not what The Sweet Pea stands for. We believe in providing a unique culinary experience that nourishes both your body and soul.
We want to be transparent here: The Sweet Pea will never strive to become the most affordable option in the market. And to us, that is something truly wonderful! We genuinely care about the ingredients we carefully select and remain committed to our identity as chefs, nutritionists, food enthusiasts, and health advocates.
