Who We Are
Our Story
Dr. Marissa Shahani, Founder
Studying nutrition and lifestyle for 10 years in higher education led me on a search for the truth behind health and wellness. I was constantly appalled by the dishonesty in the US food system at every turn- by the number of chemicals and additives I had to navigate in every product. I found that the highest quality, nutrient-dense foods are also all around us, we just have to know where to look. Particularly, I learned to value foods grown by farmers who work to heal the land they grow on, instead of those who value profit over health.
I created Handpicked in order to teach others how to source high quality, nourishing food that will support their individual needs, and the unique and evolving needs of their families. I look forward to sharing the beauty behind simple, seasonal, and local ingredients with you all and teaching about their benefits.
Mission
To provide people with the education and experiences needed for their health to thrive and for them to feel empowered to make changes beneficial to themselves, their families, and the planet.
We aim to accomplish this by educating our clients about the food system in which we exist and the role that local, organic, & regenerative food can have in our health, and the richness of micronutrients in these foods as well as their roles within our bodies. We also aim to nourish both the bodies and minds of our guests by providing a nutrient-dense farm-to-table experience that will allow people to experience the beauty of simple ingredients.
Values
To nourish both bodies and minds.
To serve both on and off the table.
To sustain both our health and the planet.
