Kinney Lane

 

Opened: 2018
Kinney Lane is a Greenwich-based meal delivery service. “Our team of chefs develop meals with your wellness in mind and our goal of elevating the way people think of healthy food,” says owner Rachael Mahoney. “Our ingredients are largely organic and locally sourced, with an emphasis on seasonality,” explain Rachael. She believes healthy eating should be simple and foods should remain in their whole form, so Kinney Lane does not used refined cooking oils, additives or other ingredients that are toxic. Meals just need to be reheated, so this is a perfect option for busy moms. In 2021, look for more kids options to be added to the menu and further expansion into Fairfield County.
Rachael’s Pick: “We are doing a January Reset that offers easy access to healthy meal options so it’s easy to stick with any health-related resolutions. We feel that the best way to commit to health goals is to have a plan -which we realize is especially difficult with the current challenges and distractions we are all facing (hello homeschooling),” says Rachael. She adds: “Our reset makes it easy and attainable. We’re moms (and dads!) so we get it.”
Curbside Pickup/Online Ordering: Ordering is all online at Kinneylane.com. “We post our new weekly menu on Thursday for delivery the following week. We deliver every Monday and Wednesday so the meals are as fresh as possible,” says Rachael.
