The Homestyle Direct Family, circa 2004
Our History
Homestyle Direct was born in the spring of 1997, over 25 years ago, when we were busy raising five young children. Much of our time was consumed with the everyday activities of raising a family and keeping a home. At the end of the day, all of these tasks just didn’t afford us the kind of time we wanted, and needed, to spend together as a family. The precious time we spent together around the dinner table was (and still is) essential to our well-being and our favorite part of the day. So, we decided to spend one day a month making and freezing nutritious meals that we could easily reheat and serve.
“We were amazed at how much freedom and peace of mind it gave us to have meals ready to eat. If it was so life changing for us, we thought, surely it would benefit other families as well. We founded Homestyle Direct to do just that.”
Demand for our high-quality, nutritionally focused meals grew quickly. We reached out to the Medicaid community, driven by a desire to help the senior and disabled populations that are often burdened with food insecurity. The business that started in our family kitchen now operates in a state-of-the-art facility that produces approximately 320,000 meals a month for customers throughout all 48 continental states.
Our Core Values
The heart of what we offer is comfort at your door. Our high standards for quality reach every aspect of the business: from the cleanliness of our kitchen to the freshness of our ingredients, through our thoughtful preparation, and most importantly in our exemplary customer service.
With Homestyle Direct you’ll receive a monthly delivery of nutrition-packed meals directly to your door that are fully cooked and flash frozen to maintain our high-quality standards. Just follow our easy re-heating instructions and enjoy a home-cooked meal in minutes. We prepare seasonal meals to suit a variety of dietary needs, so whether you need a renal diet, or prefer a menu that is carb-controlled, gluten-restricted, low-fat, low-sodium, or low-calorie, we have a wide selection of delicious meals for you to enjoy.
We look forward to serving and caring for you, just like a member of our own family.
