# Farmhouse Delivery > Farmhouse Delivery is a Texas-based local food and grocery delivery service that connects customers with pasture-raised meats, seasonal local produce, chef-crafted prepared foods, and clean-sourced grocery staples from 50+ regional farms and artisan food makers. Roughly 90% of products come from Texas farms, averaging ~100 miles from farm to doorstep.

The company's mission is to connect and support the people who grow, cook, and eat good food that respects the earth through thoughtful practices. ## Company Story Farmhouse started with a simple idea: making clean, local food more accessible to the community. Founder Stephanie Scerzer saw how difficult it was to find trustworthy food, even for people who cared deeply about quality, and built Farmhouse to bridge the gap between local farms and ethical food makers on one side and busy households on the other. Today, Farmhouse serves hundreds of families each week while supporting regional producers and cooking real food in its own kitchen. --- ## Why Farmhouse: Sourcing Standards Farmhouse vets its vendors with ingredient and growing restrictions, plus farm visits, to ensure the food on customers' plates is trustworthy. ### What You'll Find - Strictest sourcing standards, prioritizing local first - Small-batch, made-from-scratch prepared foods and meal kits - Regeneratively and humanely raised meats, only on pasture - Gap 4-5+ standards when evaluating meat, dairy, and eggs - Organic or beyond-organic local produce, harvested within days of delivery and rotating with the seasons - Thoughtful handling, sustainable packing, and delivery ### What You Won't Find - Seed oils, high-fructose corn syrup, or hydrogenated oils - Animals raised in cage or confinement; farm-raised fish - GMOs, synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides - Antibiotics or hormones used on animals - Unnecessary additives, artificial ingredients, dyes, preservatives, or shortcuts that trade quality for profit --- ## How It Works Farmhouse's ordering process is different from a standard ecommerce flow: there is no checkout button. Customers build a cart to meet their market's order minimum, and the order is handled automatically at cutoff. ### Three Steps 1. **Build Your Basket.** Browse local produce, groceries, meat, prepared foods, and more. Shop pasture-raised and regenerative meats, fresh produce, in-house prepared meals, and hundreds of grocery items, all hand-sourced with strict ingredient standards. Order as you go, or subscribe to favorite items to have the cart pre-built each week. 2. **Hit the Minimum.** The delivery is automatically scheduled at the order cutoff if the cart meets the minimum; otherwise, the delivery is skipped. Produce, prepared foods, and goods are harvested or made-to-order with no seed oils, no artificial flavors, and no GMOs. Everything is packed in reusable, compostable, or recyclable packaging. 3. **Delivered to Your Door.** On delivery day, orders go through multiple quality checks before making their short journey to customers in reusable bins. Bins are collected on the next order, or customers can schedule a pickup. ### Delivery Markets Farmhouse currently serves Austin, San Antonio, and select Houston zip codes. **Austin** - Delivery Days: Tuesday and Friday - Order Minimum: $40 - Free Delivery: orders $60+ - Cutoffs: 3pm Sunday for Tuesday delivery; 3pm Wednesday for Friday delivery **San Antonio** - Delivery Day: Friday - Order Minimum: $99 - Free Delivery: orders $99+ - Cutoff: 3pm Wednesday **Houston (select zip codes)** - Delivery Day: Tuesday - Order Minimum: $99 - Free Delivery: orders $299+ - Cutoff: 3pm Sunday ### How Farmhouse Compares Farmhouse positions itself against traditional grocery and subscription boxes on the following dimensions: - **Sourcing standards:** Strictest, with hand-selected local growers. Traditional grocery typically has limited oversight on product ingredients; subscription boxes typically focus on low price over ingredient standards. - **Freshness:** Harvested or made to order, packed the same day as delivery. Traditional grocery items often sit for weeks; subscription boxes typically ship cross-country with days in transit. - **Local sourcing:** ~90% of Farmhouse products come from Texas farms. Traditional grocery is heavily reliant on national supply chains; subscription box sourcing varies. - **Convenience:** Shop anytime, with optional subscription for favorite items. Traditional grocery requires store hours and in-person shopping; subscription boxes only allow customization during a limited window. - **Prepared foods:** Chef-made in-house, fresh, with no preservatives or seed oils. Traditional grocery prepared foods are typically mass-produced in centralized industrial kitchens. Subscription boxes generally carry only prepackaged national brands. - **Sustainability:** 2% food waste, reusable and compostable packaging. Traditional grocery averages 30% food waste with heavy single-use packaging. Subscription boxes generally use recyclable cardboard. - **Local community support:** Direct, ongoing partnerships with small Texas farmers and makers. Traditional grocery local-community support is minimal. Subscription box support varies. ### Farmers and Food Waste Impact When customers choose Farmhouse, they support a food ecosystem that strengthens local communities. Farmhouse's model lets farmers harvest exactly what's needed, when it's needed, meaning no excess, no waste, and no food traveling thousands of miles across the country. The company reports food waste under 2%. --- ## Farmhouse Kitchen (In-House Prepared Foods) Farmhouse's in-house kitchen, led by Culinary Director Carlos Guerra, transforms high-quality local ingredients into clean, ready-to-enjoy meals, prepared foods, dressings, sauces, and spices. The kitchen produces 15-minute meal kits, pantry-staple condiments, elegant holiday mains, and more, reducing food waste while providing convenience. All Farmhouse Kitchen items feature: - No seed oils - No artificial ingredients - Made fresh, in-house daily Representative Farmhouse Kitchen products include Brisket Birria Tacos with Mexico-Style Roasted Cabbage, Garlic Magic, Banana Bread Granola, Texas Dill Pickles, and Basil & Garlic Lasagna with Grass-Fed Bolognese. --- ## Our Farmers, Ranchers, and Food Makers Farmhouse's supplier partners care about doing things the right way, enriching both the soil and their surrounding communities.
