Company description

Scratch Made gives families in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia convenient access to fully prepared meals made with the region’s best ingredients. Our weekly menus are built around produce availability lists and include classic dishes, regional favorites and other things we like to cook. All meals are portioned in compostable containers and delivered to homes and offices along with reheating instructions. No subscription is required.

Our aim is to provide for customers a restaurant quality meal at home, complete with personal and considerate service. All of our dishes begin with whole ingredients sourced directly from growers and we don’t rely on convenience items like peeled garlic, canned vegetables (besides tomatoes in fall and winter) or pre-made marinades/sauces.

In addition to our heat-to-eat meals, customers can add grocery items like fresh pressed juices, smoked/cured meats, breakfast items, eggs, and our freshly baked focaccia.
