The company has secured a 25,000-square-foot leased space at 7071 Dorsey Run Road in Elkridge. From this new location, Feast & Fettle will be responsible for the complete process of crafting, packaging, and distributing its fully prepared meals to consumers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. This move is anticipated to enhance meal delivery service options for households in the vicinity and beyond.

Feast & Fettle, which began in 2016 as a personal chef’s endeavor, has experienced substantial growth and is now recognized as one of New England’s fastest-expanding meal delivery services. The company emphasizes a hands-on approach, with an in-house team managing all aspects of meal preparation and delivery. Its operational philosophy is rooted in the mission to “nourish everyday life” and maintain core values of quality and care as it extends its reach along the East Coast.

The Maryland Department of Commerce is supporting this expansion through a $1 million conditional loan via the Advantage Maryland program. Additionally, the Howard County Economic Development Authority is providing a repayable loan of up to $500,000 for working capital and a $100,000 grant for workforce training. These financial incentives are designed to facilitate the company’s establishment and job creation in the area.

Howard County Executive Calvin Ball expressed enthusiasm for Feast & Fettle’s arrival, highlighting the new jobs and the company’s investment as a positive development for the community. The facility’s location within the Eastern Howard County Enterprise Zone is seen as a strategic advantage for attracting businesses along the Route 1 Corridor. Leaders from the Howard County Economic Development Authority also welcomed the company, noting that the new facility underscores the region’s strength as a center for innovation in food production and logistics.
