Kinney Lane is a name that often sparks curiosity if you don’t know the story behind it. It’s rooted in the owners' rich family history and traditions on the street of Kinney Lane. The owner’s Italian grandparents along with her mother moved to Kinney Lane from Brooklyn into a 19th-century boarding house. Rachael would visit the house every summer and spend her days running through the fields, eating tomatoes straight from the vine, and gathering with family around the table to enjoy meals made with fresh, seasonal produce that was often sourced right from their own land. Those summers are what shaped Kinney Lane because they instilled a philosophy that celebrates quality ingredients and the joy of sharing a meal. Kinney Lane is also a tribute to Rachael’s mother who passed away from Covid in 2021. She had a special ability to bring everyone together around the table, which is what Kinney Lane continues to do as they foster these cherished gatherings, meaningful connections, and the same warmth around food to others.
Kinney Lane’s mission, inspired by this story, is to redefine how healthy food is brought to the market. They are a local delivery service offering fresh, chef-prepared meals that make healthy eating convenient and delicious. Their aim is to provide busy moms and professionals with convenient and nutritious food that simplifies mealtime without sacrificing quality. Kinney Lane recognizes the hassle their customers must endure as they juggle their long list of other responsibilities. They saw a gap in the market for fresh, local produce and protein-rich meal options that are plant-based and animal-based and are also easy to prepare. Kinney Lane therefore creates thoughtfully prepared meals with a focus on quality ingredients. Their goal is to take the stress out of healthy eating, “allowing our customers to focus on what matters most.”
Kinney Lane shows their dedication to their customers through their rotating weekly menu, designed around customer favorites that have been refined through their years of experience. Their meals are made fresh daily with local ingredients and delivered on a two-day delivery cycle on Mondays and Wednesdays to ensure their meals stay fresh and flavorful throughout the week. Their salads are prepared fresh on the day of delivery and are among their most popular options as their fresh, quality ingredients really set them apart from any other salad, with touches of massaged kale, nuts, and seeds for crunch. Their dressings are also seed-oil-free. Kinney Lane prioritizes health and wellness, which is why many of their entrées come with five different vegetable options available as well as each offering customizable protein swaps to suit individual preferences. They also offer mix-and-match vegetable and protein sides to ensure that customers can build meals that they truly love. And don’t forget dessert, even on a healthy diet, as they are Fairfield and Westchester County’s best-kept secret as they are gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined-sugar-free. All the indulgence, none of the guilt!
Kinney Lane is continuing to expand as in 2023, they opened a shop in New Canaan where the customers can pick up their meals. They’re excited to be expanding this shop in the coming year to offer an even larger selection of foods. Their New Canaan location is special because the customers can see exactly where their food is getting made, adding a level of trust and authenticity that’s missing in other delivery services. The space is meant to feel like home, an inviting place to gather with friends, enjoy a meal, and feel part of a community, truly going back to Kinney Lane’s roots at the family dinner table.
Kinney Lane is a place of transparency, a place where quality food is served and a sense of belonging is maintained. Follow their Instagram @kinneylanefoods, where they continue to be active. You can also learn more about them on their website kinneylane.com.
