The Sustainable Plate

At The Sustainable Plate we produce fresh, high quality, pre-prepared meals, desserts, snacks and bottled products for people who care about where their food comes from, how it is farmed and how it is prepared. We source, where possible, our produce from the New England and Granite Belt regions. All of the breads, pastas, jams, sauces, pastries, stocks, ice creams and more, are made right here on the premises, fresh for you to enjoy. Apart from feeding our love of cooking, it also allows us to ensure that we use minimum sugars (for example our jams have 75% less sugar than most), and the food has no preservatives. This means you can rest assured that the food is freshly prepared, cooked or baked. All of our meats are true free range and our chicken is a free range, slow grown heritage breed, all sourced directly from the farmer. We offer gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options and are more than happy to provide meals for any other dietary requirement you may have. The meals are prepared and delivered to you and you can order just a few days worth or a few weeks. We love to chat about where our food comes from and how we prepare it so please feel free to ask us questions.

Your meals are delivered in recyclable bags, vacuum packed to seal in the freshness and each item is packed separately so that you can heat individual items as much or as little as you like – no more over cooked vegies as they’ve been heated for the same time as your meat! This also means you can mix and match your sides. Each item is labelled with the ingredients and the nutritional information and comes with full reheating instructions for stove top, microwave and oven.

The philosophy of TSP is that food should be freshly prepared, using the freshest ingredients possible, and that the production of that food should never involve the depletion of the land, destruction of the environment or cruelty to animals. To this end TSP sources our produce from farmers that are environmentally responsible, yet remain compassionate to the land they farm and the animals that they raise. We then work with that produce to offer foods that showcase the produce and its producers.

We also work on a wholesale level, acting as a gateway for producers that have a great product but not the facilities to turn the base produce into ready to eat food. We package and label if for the producers and market the product jointly with them. Please contact us for more information.
