I happened upon Barn Box on Instagram soon after the first post appeared. The price varies with the contents of the box - from $25 for appetizers to serve four (a recent offering: crostini with caponata, marinated mozzarella and pesto) to $45 for a chicken dinner that serves three or four people. The weekly Barn Box offering is posted Sunday evenings on Instagram Customers can order the food weekly, or just occasionally, through a sign-up Sunday through Wednesday pickup is on Friday at Backdoor Bread in Charlotte. While the produce is grown at Gifford's farm and on a plot at the Jennings' property, some ingredients, such as meats and grains, are sourced from other local farms. "The goal is to make somebody's evening easier and have it be an experience that's driven local producers." "This thing is totally in its stages," Jennings continued. cook it and have dinner on the table in 20 minutes," said Jennings, who credits Kate for suggesting the barbecue chicken dinner that Barn Box offered earlier this month. "People just want to be able to pick something up, have a recipe. The bonus? A pair of food pros with complementary expertise decide what's for dinner. Key components of Barn Box are Jennings' recipes that guide home cooks in making a meal from raw ingredients and his premade contributions.
"It's nice to connect with people who are not necessarily professionally trained." Hilary Gifford tweet this The weekly food box consists of vegetables and herbs that Gifford grows, along with sauces, condiments and other prepared foods Jennings makes at his new seasonal venture, Red Barn Kitchen. That magic is contained in the locally sourced meal kit, Barn Box, that Jennings and Gifford launched in early July. Jennings and his wife, Kate, had learned firsthand during their debut growing season in Vermont that farming "is more than a full-time job," he said. She responded to a post from Jennings, who wanted to team up with a farmer to grow vegetables and work on related food projects. Jennings, a chef from Boston who moved to Charlotte with his family two years ago, and Gifford, a vegetable farmer in North Ferrisburgh, connected on a Vermont agriculture website. Matt Jennings and Hilary Gifford met the way most people seem to these days: online.
