Postpartum Nourishment 

Inspired by traditional postpartum care and support, Chef, Cathleen Kargard is providing specially crafted foods delivered to your door.

Our meal packages allow you to choose the quantity of meals that is right for you. You may select from a specially crafted menu of main dishes, soups, sides and lactation snacks.

All meal packages will be delivered on the South Coast of Santa Barbara County (an additional fee for Summerland, Carpinteria, SYV or Ojai will be assessed).

Meals are generously portioned and typically provide nourishment over the course of a few days. Additional items can be added on an “a la carte” style. Please contact Cathleen to do so.
