Ordering & Kitchen FAQ
This page answers common questions about ordering, pickup, and how our homestead kitchen works.
If something isn’t clear, you’re always welcome to reach out.
Ordering
How often do you release a menu?
Menus are released occasionally throughout the season when the homestead kitchen opens. What’s available depends on what we’re growing, what’s available locally, and what we’re preparing at that time.
How do I place an order?
Orders are placed online during the preorder window. When ordering is open, a link to the current menu will be shared on the Homestead Kitchen page.
Can I order after the window closes?
Because we prepare food in small batches, we’re not able to accept late orders once the preorder window closes.
Pickup
Where is pickup located?
Pickup takes place at Raven Ridge Homestead. The address and arrival details are shared after your order is confirmed. Because this is a private working homestead, visits are limited to scheduled pickups, workshops, and gatherings.
What are pickup times?
Each menu includes a scheduled pickup day and time window. Please plan to arrive during that window.
What if I miss pickup?
If something unexpected comes up, reach out as soon as possible. We’ll do our best within reason, but we aren’t able to hold prepared food indefinitely.
Do you offer delivery?
Limited neighborhood delivery may occasionally be available for nearby homes within the Raven Ridge area. When offered, availability and any associated fees will be listed on the menu.
Kitchen Practices
Is this a restaurant?
No. The homestead kitchen operates through occasional preorder menus with scheduled pickup windows. There is no daily service or drop-in ordering, and the property is not open for unscheduled visits.
Is the kitchen licensed?
The Raven Ridge Homestead Kitchen operates under California’s MEHKO guidelines.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Menus include ingredient information when applicable. Because production is small-batch, substitutions are generally not available.
Changes & Cancellations
Can I cancel my order?
Cancellations must be made before the preorder window closes. Once production begins, orders cannot be refunded.
