About Us

 

Is navigating the grocery store or kitchen a challenge? Are you worried about how well your elderly parents are eating? Or are you a new parent who finds it hard to squeeze in time to cook for yourself? Savory Fare is the delicious, nourishing answer for you.

Savory Fare is a frozen and fresh meal delivery service for Rhode Islanders. We prepare our food from scratch with high-quality ingredients that are sourced locally when possible and with attention to the details of fine food preparation. Our mission is to nourish you with meals that delight.

Our founder, Mary Wise Hughes, began Savory Fare because she saw a great need in her community. Leaning on her culinary background (her degree and practical experience in food and nutrition) she began cooking for friends and relatives who did not have enough time to prepare the nutritious meals that they wanted to serve their families. Over the past 10 years, Savory Fare has grown to meet the needs of hundreds of customers from Providence to Newport.

Although Mary has recently retired, Savory Fare will continue her legacy under the new management of Canopy Care Solutions. Read Mary’s retirement message below.

Mary Retires

Dear Savory Fare Clients and Friends:

It is with mixed emotions that I have decided to retire.  However, I am happy to say that the business that I started, Savory Fare, will continue beyond my departure.  Many of the friendly faces you’ve come to know over the years will also remain as we transition ownership, along with your favorite Savory Fare dishes on the menu.  

Canopy Care Solutions will operate Savory Fare starting in early May. You will be able to continue to use the same website and phone number to order.  You’ll also have food delivered as regularly scheduled.  

Thank you for the part you have played in Savory Fare’s success.  This business venture has been one of the hardest challenges – and at the same time one of the best adventures -- of my life.  It has been a privilege to get to know you.  Whether we met at a tasting, or talked on the phone, you have made an impact on my life.

Before saying goodbye, I’d like to acknowledge Lisa Raiola and the team at Hope & Main, the Warren-based culinary incubator that helped launch and grow our business.  It’s where Rosa, Shelby, Annette, Norma, Diane, Mary N., and Philippe worked to develop and refine our menu and where our valiant drivers picked up the food to deliver to your doorstep.  It took a village to bring Savory Fare to life and each one of these people has played an important role in our success.

As I head into retirement, I thank you for the role that you played in Savory Fare’s success, and I hope that you will continue to support our brand.  While management will be changing, Savory Fare’s mission to provide delicious and nutritious food will have the opportunity to expand and grow with the local resources that Canopy Care Solutions can offer. 

With appreciation for your loyalty and business,
Mary Hughes
