Our Team

Nourishment comes from way more than calories, proteins, and fats. We are also nourished by food memories and culture, by our community, and by our friends and family. I am passionate about supporting our customers with healthy food choices in the context of an inclusive and richly regenerative food system and a diverse, healthy community.

We deliver food and memories.

Know where your food comes from. Know you're part of something bigger.

"L.A's hottest farm-to-door home delivery service" Chalkboard Magazine

At its core, Narrative Food is more than just another start-up food delivery service, online grocery, or meal kit. The company's goal is to inspire people to value Good Food sourced from a regenerative agricultural system, and to connect to the people, stories and places which make up the Narrative Food community.

We are best known for our Narrative Provisions Boxes. Each box tells a story with curated ingredients and recipes inspired by local food writers and creatives, cultural events, holidays and special occasions. We also include unique stories of the people and places behind the products in every box.

WOMAN OWNED AND OPERATED

Narrative Food is a woman-owned and operated, Los Angeles based, B Corp certified, produce and provisions delivery service founded by Jennifer Field Piette.

Although we welcome all stakeholders, we endeavor to support other like-minded women-owned businesses, ranchers, farmers and chefs.

Narrative Food's founder, Jennifer Field Piette, is also very active in the B Corp Women CEO group, where she was a founding signatory of the #WeTheChange declaration and a member of the Female Founders Collective.

How we plan to grow

We have proven our concept for many years, but we have never had any marketing budget to reach a larger customer base. By investing in marketing and our core team, we hope to quickly increase our customer base and free up the founder to focus on growing the business instead of running the business. 

Given we are already serving 1000 zip codes across Southern California, we have an ample audience from which to build our customer base quickly. Our infrastructure is presently under capacity, leaving us considerable space for growth without additional costs.

As with every campaign, the following are future projections and cannot be guaranteed, but we will work our hardest to achieve it:
