A Message from Our Hearts — An Update on Planted Table
Dear Planted Table Community,
It is with full hearts and deep gratitude that we share some bittersweet news with you today.
After 8.5 incredible years of nourishing our Bay Area community with plant-based meals, Planted Table will be pressing pause on operations.
This has been one of the hardest decisions we have ever made. What started as a dream to bring plant-based food into the homes of our community became something far more meaningful than we ever imagined. A weekly ritual, a trusted relationship, and for us, an absolute labor of love. We are endlessly grateful for every single meal we got to share with you.
The honest truth is that our business model has become financially unsustainable. The cost of food and utilities has gone up so dramatically over the years that it has become impossible to keep up. Over the past few years, we tried everything we could think of to grow our membership and reduce our overhead, but we are no longer able to make ends meet. Rather than continue to take on more debt, we made the difficult decision to pause, breathe, and figure out what comes next.
This is hopefully not goodbye. We have ideas for the next version of Planted Table, and we will keep you updated as things take shape.
Thank you for trusting us week after week to nourish you and your families. What an exceptional community this has been. We love you all.
With so much gratitude,
Megan and Chef Lauren 🌿
