Our Story:

Welcome to the home of radical nourishment.

Welcome to Real Food Devotee.

Our kitchen is a rare place where the old ways are honored.

The bricks that surround this space are not merely a building.

They are a shelter for simple pleasures like kneading dough made of ancient grains. They protect the wild beauty of fermentation. On these walls are written the verses of songs sung while we work and the little intimacies of stories shared.

In our kitchen, time is not money. Time is intention. It is moments of reverence to regeneratively grown ingredients and the importance of love in all things.

As you step out into the chaotic cadence of modern-day life, Real Food Devotee is honored to nourish you and those you love. To help fortify your inner shelter from the force and usage of the world. 


We craft this food using ancestral techniques like wild fermentation and long-simmered bone broth. We never use packaged mixes or chemical preservatives. The result is nutrient-rich, functional food that can be a catalyst for profound healing.

By being a part of the Real Food Devotee family, you are joining us in support of local farms practicing regenerative agriculture. Farmers who are fair employers. Growers who tend & harvest with an eye to high nutrient content and respect for the land. 


Together we’re casting an ever more powerful vote for the vibrant health of our loved ones and the planet we share. This is how our story becomes your story too. And together, we bring forth a healing. 

So happy to nourish you,

Chef Monica & the RFD Team

  • "RFD brings nourishing home cooking to me and my family. And on the days where I have fed kids, husband, and pets but I forgot myself, finding something in the freezer especially made for me is a gift."

    Lisa Bonet, actress & activist

  • "This is a stunning variety of real, whole foods that are artfully prepared with lovely, resonant flavors."

    Jenny McGruther, founder of nourishedkitchen.com

  • "Without a doubt, this bone broth kept my son out of the hospital due to dehydration today. With the aid of RFD's fermented foods, bone broths, and probiotics, I will also heal and continue to thrive."

    Selma Blair, actress
