The Founders of Feast & Fettle: The Duo Behind Your Next Dinner Solution

Feast & Fettle was founded in 2016 by Maggie Mulvena Pearson, Nicole Oliveira Nix, and Carlos Ventura. Maggie Mulvena Pearson, a former personal chef, and Nikki Oliveira Nix, a lifelong friend, initially launched the company with the goal of providing convenient, home-cooked meals.

In a world where convenience often compromises quality, Feast & Fettle is here to change the game. Offering fresh, wholesome, and locally sourced meals delivered straight to your door, Feast & Fettle is revolutionizing the way families approach mealtime. At the heart of this innovative service are Maggie and Nikki, two best friends who started with a small dream and built a thriving business that now serves over 10,000 members.

What started in a tiny kitchen has evolved into a full-fledged service that not only meets the demands of busy families but also upholds the founders' commitment to quality, sustainability, and the joy of sharing good food with loved ones.

The Spark of an Idea

Feast & Fettle’s journey began when Maggie and Nikki, both passionate home cooks, found themselves overwhelmed by the demands of family life. Like many people, they longed for a way to enjoy fresh, home-cooked meals without the stress of grocery shopping, meal planning, and hours spent in the kitchen. What if there were a solution—one that delivered freshly made meals, prepared with love and care, right to their door?

The idea for Feast & Fettle was born out of this need for convenience without compromising on quality or taste. “We were cooking for busy families in a tiny kitchen, never imagining we’d grow to serve over 10,000 members,” Maggie recalls. Their mission became clear: to create a service that could nourish families with meals made from real, wholesome ingredients—food that they themselves would be proud to serve their own families.

At Feast & Fettle, the founders have built their business on the belief that nourishment starts with real food. Every meal they create is made fresh to order, using ingredients they trust to serve their own families. For Maggie and Nikki, food is not just about sustenance; it’s about creating memories and special moments around the dinner table.

“We believe food should be real, it should be wholesome, and it should help create those special moments where everyone gathers together,” Nikki says. “It’s more than just food—it’s about nourishing the people you love.”

When it comes to sourcing ingredients, Maggie and Nikki are uncompromising. Every meal prepared by Feast & Fettle prioritizes your well-being. That’s why they’ve banned over 200 ingredients that don’t belong in your food, including artificial sweeteners like Aspartame and Sucralose, artificial preservatives such as TBHQ and Sodium Propionate, synthetic dyes like Red No. 40, and hydrogenated oils and trans fats.

"We only use wholesome, unprocessed ingredients—foods we’d serve our own families," Maggie says. This commitment ensures that every meal is packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients, free from anything artificial.

Ingredients You Can Trust

Our Approach to Cooking Oils

The oils used in Feast & Fettle’s meals are selected with both health and flavor in mind. The company primarily uses avocado oil, known for its heart-healthy fats and vitamin E. This oil is not only great for your health but also provides a subtle, buttery flavor that enhances every dish. Its high smoke point ensures stability during cooking, making it a superior choice for a wide variety of preparations. High-quality olive oil is also used on occasion, adding another layer of richness to their meals.

Feast & Fettle’s dedication to quality goes beyond just the ingredients; it’s about thoughtful sourcing and exceptional standards. Each ingredient is chosen with care, ensuring that it meets the highest standards for sustainability, ethics, and quality.

  • Meats and Seafood: All meats are humanely raised, sustainably sourced, and free from antibiotics, additives, and hormones. Their seafood is responsibly sourced, offering traceability and sustainability.

  • Fresh, Seasonal Produce: Feast & Fettle prioritizes local purveyors when seasons allow, ensuring that each meal is made with produce at its peak freshness and flavor.

  • Ethically Sourced Eggs and Dairy: The eggs and dairy come from humane farms that are dedicated to sustainable practices, including cage-free eggs and hormone-free milk.

By working closely with local and regional suppliers, Maggie and Nikki are able to bring fresh, ethical, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients to your table, creating meals that you can feel good about.

Thoughtful Sourcing, Exceptional Standards

Feast & Fettle takes pride in its strong partnerships with regional and local vendors who share the company’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and care. These relationships ensure that the ingredients used in every meal are fresh, ethical, and thoughtfully sourced. Some of the trusted vendors that supply Feast & Fettle include:

  • Little Leaf Farms (Massachusetts): A hydroponic farm producing crisp, flavorful lettuce without pesticides or GMOs, setting the standard for sustainable produce.

Nikki explains. This hands-on approach ensures that every meal meets their high standards for taste, quality, and nutrition.
