A quick & healthy meal for your busy schedule! 🍜

Want to feed your family with a delicious, nutrient dense meal but don’t have a ton of time? 💚 We’re here to help!

Create the warming, mineral-rich ramen of your dreams with ease using our carefully crafted ingredients. 🍜  We’ve created our very own spice mix that comes with a simple recipe so you can easily pair it with our grass-fed bone broth! Thanks to Joe from Joe’s Bread, we’re able to offer you these tasty, healthy broth options with ingredients sourced from our fresh produce and very own grass-fed and / or pastured meat bones.

We’re also excited to announce that we’ve re-stocked some “new concept” ramen noodles from Big Green that are all organic and absolutely delicious: millet, buckwheat, sorghum, and traditional wheat ramen.

Select the broth of your choice (turkey/chicken, pork, lamb, or beef), grab our spice mix and your preferred ramen noodle, pick out your favorite fresh toppings straight from our garden, and you’ve got the perfect meal! 🌿😍 Some of our favorite toppings include: fresh herbs, scallions, mushrooms, greens, and a soft boiled egg.

You can find all of this by shopping in our store, or placing a pre-order online.

We can’t wait to see you!
