Our Mission
Our mission is to bring healthy food together with recreation in a way that promotes exploration of the surrounding area. That’s a lot of words to say, we love to picnic.
How do we do it?
Go explore our most excellent neighborhood! We’ve outsourced our dining room to the surrounding parks. Check out our maps of every picnic table, bench and grassy knoll in the area, and ya know what? Everyone here is happy to recommend the perfect spot for you to chill - That’s just us doing you a kindness. We put great ideas in your heads, like.. “ I should eat this salad and watch the boats pass.” Then we package the food for the adventure and kick you out the door with a map. We side with the Outside, every time, all seasons. To go, carry out, basically… get out of here!
