how to pick the right service for your suburb
if you're in minneapolis, saint paul, or any inner-ring suburb (edina, st. louis park, richfield, roseville):
local service makes sense — fresher food (1-2 days old vs. 3-5 from national), supports a minneapolis business, and delivery from $4 (free over $65) is hard to beat. tandoco, healthy for life meals, the minnesota table, and homegrown foods are all good local options.
if you're in an outer-ring suburb (lakeville, shakopee, woodbury, maple grove):
still within local-service range — tandoco delivers, healthy for life meals delivers, the minnesota table delivers. local still wins on freshness.
if you're in greater minnesota (rochester, duluth, brainerd, etc.):
local twin cities services typically don't extend that far. national shippers (factor, cookunity, trifecta) are your realistic option. accept the 3-5 day shipping delay.
if you have a GLP-1 prescription (ozempic / wegovy / mounjaro):
strongly bias toward local fresh food. small portions matter, freshness matters, and the per-meal price difference is small enough that the quality gap dominates. see our GLP-1 meal prep page.
