If you’re anything like us, you’re prioritizing convenience this year — and this local service is making the hustle and bustle of getting the kiddos ready for school a whole lot easier for parents in Fayette County.

Packed is a subscription-based service designed to take the stress out of meal planning by delivering wholesome, kid-approved lunches directly to your door every Sunday.

Let’s unpack the details

Each week, Packed provides three or more individually prepared lunches, designed specifically for K-8 students and crafted with locally sourced ingredients. With an emphasis on kid-friendly flavors, each meal is freshly made with minimal preservatives and packed with nutrition.

Did we mention lunches are guaranteed fresh throughout the week? Toss them into a backpack, lunchbox, or anywhere in between for a hassle-free, nutritious meal anytime.

Packed lunch options

Packed meals provide students with a unique opportunity to create their custom combinations of entrée selections and sides from a menu inspired by both local and global flavors.
