Local Paleo Food Delivery Raleigh Options
If something unexpected popped up in your schedule, or if you ran out of time this weekend to grocery shop, there are some places in the Raleigh area that have options for Paleo customers. While these of local companies might not cater exclusively to Paleo clients, there is a subset of items that adhere to Paleo’s grain, dairy, and sugar-free requirements. One benefit of choosing a company based in North Carolina is that they are more likely to partner with local farms in the Raleigh area.
The Root Cellar
The Root Cellar, a restaurant in Chapel Hill, has a separate Paleo menu that they offer as a meal plan they call “Paleo Dinners” each week, which can be picked up from the restaurant. Their chef’s create special dishes designed to follow the requirements of the Paleo Diet. Each week they create 5 meals, all made from scratch. The meals consist of entrees, sides and deserts, all designed to be Paleo. They commit to using locally sourced, grass-fed, antibiotic free beef, chicken and pork, sustainable fish and local produce to the extent possible.

National Companies Offering Paleo Meal Delivery to Raleigh
Ordering locally is a good option for when you need a last-minute dinner solution. But for those of you looking for a more long-term solution to sustaining your Paleo Diet, you might look at a few of these national companies. If you need specialty meal plans, or if you want to keep a few meals frozen and on hand, these companies cater exclusively to Paleo customers.
You might not be certain from where your local restaurants source their ingredients (though many source from local farmers and vendors), but you can trust that these national companies create meals exclusively from grass-fed and pastured proteins, wild-caught fish, and organic, local, and occasionally seasonal produce. Many of these companies have specific diet plans for those who are on plans like Wahls Paleo or the Zone Diet. These meals are occasionally offered a la carte, though usually as meal plans and they ship express to your door anywhere in Raleigh and the surrounding areas.
The Good Kitchen
The Good Kitchen, based right in North Carolina in Charlotte, is a semi-local option for ordering Paleo meals that will be delivered to your home or office. The Good Kitchen offers customers a wide variety of Paleo meal options, including meals like Korean beef skillet, salmon patties, and a collection of Paleo vegetarian and vegan dishes. The company makes the meal selection process easy, allowing you to choose from grass fed beef, chicken, pork, or vegetarian focused menus. Based out of North Carolina, the Good Kitchen sources its ingredients directly for farms they know and trust.
