If you’re a Paleo dieter, you’ve likely experienced times when your schedule was so hectic that you considered abandoning the diet to avoid having to cook your own meals from scratch. However, while the concept of buying fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and cooking all of your meals at home remains one of the core tenets of the Paleo diet, in today’s world this is often a tough ideal to maintain. Everyone has busy schedules which can get in the way of cooking on a daily basis, but this doesn’t need to get in the way of your basic dietary principles as a result.

The local companies are all based in and around Scranton, and deliver fresh Paleo meals throughout the area, while the national companies deliver to any address throughout Wyoming Valley.
