our story
better together
Hi, we're Ariane and Turner. We created Vegetable + Butcher because we had experienced the pain points that come with calorie counting, restrictive eating, misguided sourcing and bland flavors firsthand. So, what does a meal delivery business look like when it's built upon the shared sensibilities of a plant-based eater and a humanely raised protein enthusiast?
It looks like a more balanced, nourishing, delicious experience than anything that has come before.
“For us, this has always been about the quality of the inputs over the quantity of the outputs.”
