About FreshFuel
Founded in 2020, we've delivered over 500,000 healthy meals to Portland families, athletes, and professionals.
Our Story
FreshFuel was born in a tiny Portland kitchen during the pandemic. Chef Maria Rodriguez noticed her neighbors struggling to cook healthy meals while juggling work-from-home and childcare. She started preparing meals for five families — and within a month, word spread.
Today, we're a team of 22 chefs, nutritionists, and logistics experts delivering over 3,000 meals every week. But our mission hasn't changed: make healthy eating so easy and delicious that it becomes the default, not the exception.

Meals are delivered fresh every Sunday evening between 4-8 PM. They arrive in insulated, recyclable cooler bags. Just unpack, refrigerate, and enjoy throughout the week.
