expansion was into the Boston metro west area, including Wellesley, Newton and Brookline. With the success of the company’s expansion, Mulvena Pearson continues to look to the future. “We want to be able to operate this kitchen so efficiently that we can just take the kitchen model and put it outside of Boston,” she says. “Then we would just replicate the kitchens around New England.” Feast and Fettle meals are prepared one day before delivery for maximum freshness, and they don’t deliver further than two hours’ drive from where meals are made. Delivery is free and takes place on Mondays and Wednesdays. This model makes mealtime easy, while reducing the carbon footprint for the whole family. And, Mulvena Pearson adds, Feast and Fettle’s local delivery route reduces the need for extra packaging. All plastic used by the company is recyclable and cooler bags and ice packs — which keep food fresh for up to four hours — are reusable, too. “We package everything family-style so it encourages people to eat on plates,” she says. “I really want people to be sitting down at a table eating a meal. Whether they made it or not, it’s homemade, so they can experience that in these unique times. People can’t do everything nowadays.” General manager Nicole Nix (left), CEO Carlos Ventura and founder Maggie Mulvena Pearson.
