• "If the words 'healthful [chicken] pot pie' seem oxymoronic (or too good to be true), check out the chicken pot pies at Eat Local. Made with locally raised chicken from the Snoqualmie Valley and Boistfort Valley Farm Vegetables, these pies are topped with a round of surprisingly flaky whole-wheat pastry" -Seattle Magazine

Seattle PI

• "Eat Local is dedicated to providing frozen prepared meals that can go straight into the oven or microwave. What sets this shop apart from other companies that offer "gourmet" frozen meals is that Eat Local endeavors to fulfill the conviction implied by its name: All the produce and meats used are sustainably raised (organic, free-range, grass-fed), come from within a several-hundred-mile radius, and are seasonal." -Hsino-Ching Chou, Seattle PI

The Seattle Times

• " 'Busy people these days can't spend two hours preparing a great meal for themselves or their families,' [Conner] says, 'but they still want the quality and don't want to use all processed food.' Conner's approach is to add value to local food by preparing it for the consumer, who can take it home, thaw and reheat it." -Harley Stoles, Seattle Times

• "For those [customers] who want to know where their food comes from, Conner can tell them. That's no small feat, Conner has learned. In the global food chain, it's easier and cheaper to buy apple juice from Chinese concentrate than cider pressed from apples in Wenatchee. It took his chefs dozens of phone calls to find the right rancher, for instance, providing Methow Valley beef raised on grass." -Linda Mapes, Seattle Times

• "With the gospel of locally produced food winning more adherents by the day -- not just at the farmers market, but among your favourite restaurants and chefs who want to do the right thing -- it's only natural that the premade-meal market would follow suit. Eat Local in Queen Anne specializes in frozen take-home dinners crafted with ingredients sourced from organic and sustainable farms within a few hundred miles of Seattle." -Cody Ellerd, NW Source

What our customers say:

• "If I paid myself labour costs & bought the ingredients to make the quality of dishes Eat Local offers, it'd be at least several times the cost. And then I'd have to clean up which would be even more expensive I would have used every pot, pan, bowl, utensil." -JP W.
