I am also confused on how to keep track of it all to purchase what my hubby and I need. For those who figure it out there are rewards in the way of accessing via The Chef's Farm wonderful local produce grown with sustainable and organic farming practices as well as, in 2020 at least, completed meals and finished food products that could be delivered to your door. PRODUCE FOR DAYS: This is the farmer Christian making it happen via his farm in Dry Creek Valley. As in the outstanding lettuces, really at the top of the list for best of our 40 years of cooking together at home, that we bought from The Chef's Farm for a couple of weeks via the Saturday morning Boise Farmers Market in Summer 2020 until Christian stopped selling via that market. But I think The Chef's Farm is set up to sell at a sometimes pop up Farmers Market in the Hyde Park neighborhood on Saturdays if one can find that outlet for this excellent produce of all kinds. For a while earlier on The Chef's Farm did a sort of CSA box too and may be doing it again (?). And in 2021 there is a subscription service for fresh microgreens for which the only downside may be they are packaged in greater quantity than can be consumed even by two devoted daily greens eaters. Still, a very good thing. Check the website to see what the plans might be for 2021 for any or all of these services. And as produce - farm aside, not only does Christian grow some of the most remarkably delicious carrots we have eaten, he creates some of the most incredibly delicious dishes with carrots as focal point...and we say this as people for whom carrots have never been a "thing" until Christian's dishes provided revelation. Which leads to the next point. MMMM...ARVELOUS FINISHED FOOD DISHES: At times it is chef Christian Phernetton at work via The Chef's Farm to create finished food dishes including complete meals ready to heat and plate and eat which we were able to order and savor in the last half of 2020. After the 2020 holiday season this service paused. If started again we will use it again as provided remarkable meals from this "Chef with Chops". Keep in mind Christian has impressive background as a chef in the DC and Bay Areas at fine restaurants in those locales and was the inaugural chef at Boise's acclaimed Camel's Crossing...where his Carrot Steak was a diner favorite and as aside I'll say his lamb cassoulet was the best dish even to now that I have been served in any Boise eatery. ( Camel's Crossing closed early in pandemic months.) You'll see my photos on this page for the great way in which The Chef's Farmmeals were delivered to homes on Fridays and Saturdays. (In Eagle where I live for a mere $7). My husband and I also appreciated that the weekly menus included options for omnivores and vegetarians alike. Also that in this service Christian remained true to the sustainability practices he embraces (we do too) and delivered the meals in reusable glass vessels which he also picked up as part of that minimal charge for delivery. It wasn't only our bodies that felt well fed by Christian's work but our consciences too. Every purchase we make reflects our values. GIFTS NO LESS: During the holiday season - and maybe at other times - The Chef's Farm website listed things like condiments and holiday boxes that one could order to give to friends and neighbors. It was a great way to delight food centric people and people who support small local food producers. We purchased these too in 2020. FIGURING IT OUT IN 2021: As we determine what is being sold by The Chef's Farm in 2021 that is in a venue and format that we can use for our home kitchen we will happily remain customers. This is an example of a business growing and creating unique and delicious things.

While it may be slightly pricier, we end up saving a ton of money because we don't make trips to the grocery store every week and buy things we don't need. Make one monthly trip to stock up on meat, get your Brown Box every week, and you're set. The fruits and vegetables are fresh and delicious. I can't speak for the other products yet, but it is nice to have such a variety. Lastly, the customer service is second to none. If a delivery or item is a little different than planned, they answer the phone on the first ring and fix things in the first minute. However, mistakes are rare. We will be using this company for as long as we live in Boise. Great work and thank you. Loyal Customer

I appreciate what this young woman, cook and health advocate is trying to accomplish in healthy meals, home delivered, with option of ad-hoc or subscription ordering. But it fell enough short for our one try that we didn't order again. Also, I'll note that she calls herself "chef" but has no formal training. But she came to be passionate about the role of good food in health due to a personal health crisis and it is a good thing to want to carry forward the learning she had to help others. Last, I think she has recently taken over a once failing restaurant space in the North End of Boise and renamed and recrafted it into a restaurant of her own. It carries a different name than Haute Foods.

I was soooo excited to try out Haute for the macro meal delivery service. The pros are that it was…read morevery easy to order and the team did a great job accommodating my dietary needs. I choose the chef's choice option and for almost everything, flavors were great. One of the meats was over salted but not inedible. The sauces were all very delicious. The cons: only received 13/15 meals ordered. Since each meal is upwards of $15, this was a significant shortage. Three of the meals had undercooked beef (not rare steak, but tough bulgogi cuts), so that was only 10 out of 15 edible meals delivered. The turmeric cauliflower had a sandy texture I couldn't stomach. I was told by the team that I should have reheated it for 20 minutes in a cast iron skillet, rather than microwave. The meals were not labeled and there were no instructions on reheating, so that was just confusing all around. If you order the chefs choice, you have to request your itemized receipt to see the macros and the macros for the protein will be missing, so you'll just be on your own in terms of calculating macros and calories for your meal. Fine, but not the product they're selling. The team has been somewhat responsive as I've brought these issues up, but I'm still waiting to hear if/how I will be compensated for the 5 missing/undercooked meals. And it doesn't help the issue that now I have to go to the grocery store, cook, etc when I had thought I had that all taken care of for me by paying a premium to Haute. I asked for a credit for the following week as the food was decent and the service (if it actually is executed as billed) is a great, convenient concept. UPDATE: the team offered additional meals to compensate for the missing/undercooked food. I was fine with it as I really wanted to continue the service, but a credit would have been a much better solution.
