Our Philosophy


How we’re different

We don’t put you in a bucket or serve you standard meals, each dish has been crafted especially for you.

Plant-forward

Our meals can be made vegetarian as, fruits and veggies always play a starring role in all our meals.

Rich in lean proteins

Each meal is planned by a dietitian to include enough protein to keep you satiated and meet your body's needs.

Easy on the starch

Appropriate portions of high-fiber whole grains and starchy vegetables.

Clean food

Our meals may sound indulgent (props to our talented chefs!) but they are clean and well-balanced. Our food is high in vitamins and minerals and uses small amounts of salt and high quality healthy fats. With good, clean ingredients, our meals have that homemade feel.

Different every day

Good nutrition relies on eating diverse foods.

Not a diet fad

We don't cut out carbs or bulk on proteins. Our meals are based on your needs and balance so you're not missing out on any goodies.

Sustainability

Less waste.

We use eco-friendly packaging that is recyclable and compostable.

To minimize waste, we plan ahead, and only buy what’s needed.

Sourced locally.

Nutrients degrade over time. Shipping damages the environment. Our ingredients are seasonal and sourced locally to ensure they are fresh and nutrient-dense.

We believe in using whole foods and cook from scratch. We even make our own sauces and dressings!

Meet Claire, Square Fare Founder

I’ve worked in corporate settings my entire career and anytime things got busy (always!) I’d find myself eating the same salad every day or getting a sandwich at 4pm. Sound familiar? I was trying to shed excess weight but felt fatigued and had stomach issues. During COVID, I made my own food and felt like a new person. I felt high energy, my stomach issues were gone, and I reached a weight that felt good.

I realized the importance of proper nutrition, and I understood that it can look different for different people.

That’s where the idea for Square Fare started: a tailored, individualized service that delivers the food you need and crave, while fitting into your busy life.

Have questions or want to help? We would love to hear from you! Reach out anytime: claire@getsquarefare.com.

We are selling a thoughtful package that’s adapted to you. When you sign up, you are buying the customization, analysis, and the thoughtfulness that goes behind it.
