A passion for bodybuilding and optimizing the functionality of the human body inspired Jerry Freishtat to pioneer a meal delivery service that focuses on providing the purest, healthiest, most nutritious organic food available in the Delmarva region.
"Dad's a competitive bodybuilder and a total health nut," says Justin Freishtat, Jerry's son and Vice President of Sales for Heartland Home Foods of Baltimore. "He wanted the cleanest, safest and healthiest products for himself" to optimize his performance in his sport, then realized he could offer the benefits of "farm to fork" food to everyone.
Heartland supplies locally-sourced meat, seafood, poultry, and vegetables from reputable, humane farms and fisheries. All offerings exceed US Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards for organic food and are free of hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, artificial ingredients and preservatives.
"It's nice to be in a type of business that you are really helping people," Freishtat continues. "We see a lot of people with serious health issues, and food's the best medicine." Many Heartland customers have lost weight eating protein-rich, low carbohydrate, and portion-controlled meals that provide the optimum amount of nutrients and low calories.
Heartland's experts provide in-home consultations, including tasting and sampling. They collaborate with individuals to design specific meals or long-term meal plans that consider food allergies, diet or weight loss goals, and nutritional needs ensuring everyone a safe, healthy, mouthwatering option to eat.
