Frequently Asked Questions

Some answers to questions we thought you might ask.

A yearly membership is required to order Vive Health Boxes.

It's important to us that you become part of our community. We want to share with you the food we eat and we want to know you. At the same time, we want you to know who we are, why we are passionate about health, and why it's extremely important to us to have a community that cultivates and nourishes the health of all creatures and creation.

Too often, food businesses pop up to fill a niche or consumer demand. Yet, they have not considered how their business might negatively impact individual and communal health, use the same food systems that are desecrating our earth, and continue taking advantage of someone on the path from food to table.

Your yearly membership will help us develop a relationship that positively impacts everyone in our community and also keep costs down as we establish a sustainable and flourishing food system.

Call us to place your weekly order.

At the moment, I am sick and tired of technology. Not only do all services on this website cost money, but they also keep us from talking and having the much-needed human encounter. So here it goes. Hi- my name is DeeAnn. I am a real human being, and I want to be of service to you. Jason and I want to know who we are cooking for and how we can help support and encourage you. We want to connect with you because we believe "Connection is health." Please give me a call.

Weekly Menus will be posted but cannot be customized.

As much as we respect your preferences, tastes, and even your particular medical needs, we cannot accommodate special orders on the boxes. We know we have gluten-free folks, but we cannot adjust to meet the need for gluten-free options each week. There may be times when our meals are naturally gluten-free, and we will post that information. Our regular menu will include grains. Cooking for 40 people is challenging, and it will be very difficult for us to make alternative meals at that scale. I am sorry. Hopefully, as we move forward, we can find a way to offer meals to our gluten-free folks.

You must use our reusable containers and return them when you pick up your meals.

We want this to be easy and convenient for you, but not if it means producing more waste and putting Jason's fantastic food in some gross plastic container. We hope the reusable containers remind us that what we do matters and that every choice has consequences for us and our whole world.

Let’s Do Something Different Here

We are committed to providing free meals to people in our community who desperately need our help. The membership will help us distribute free Vive meals in our community. Jason and I believe everyone deserves access to the same nutritious food, and we are committed to being of service to our most vulnerable community members.

Your Health Matters, and so do your neighbors.

It’s important to us to talk with you about your health. We want to know that you are not just eating great food, but you are participating in nourishing all your parts. Food is just one way that we can nourish our whole person, but we need more than good food if we are going to thrive. We want you to be part of a community that receives and gives all of Life’s amazing gifts through honest and loving relationships. More than ever, our world needs healthy people moving to give their time, talents, and truths to love and encourage others.
