CGF Prepared Meals is a fully prepared meal service that offers a variety of entrees, soups, salads, and budget-friendly meals made with locally grown ingredients. Our menu changes weekly and our meals are available by pick up or delivery for those living in or near Dubuque, IA.

We are located at 2900 Central Avenue in Dubuque, IA. This location also serves as the pick up site for our Prepared Meals each Wednesday.

A new menu is posted on our website each Monday evening. You then have until Saturday at midnight to order. Your meals will be ready on Wednesday of the next week.

Meals can be picked up on Wednesdays at 2900 Central Ave. If you are a John Deere or Hirschbach employee, there are also options to pick up at those locations.

We deliver within a 10 mile radius of our location (2900 Central Ave. Dubuque, IA 52001).

We offer free delivery on orders of $100 or more.

No, this is not a subscription meal service. You can order one week, skip the next two, and then order again the following week - or however and whenever you like!

As part of our mission to reconnect food and people, it is important to us to source as many of our ingredients locally as possible. We even have two garden plots of our own! Read more about our gardens and the growers and farmers we support here. Each Friday we also send out an email with a list of local growers that will be featured in that week’s menu. You can sign up for our email list here.

The majority of our meals come with nutritional facts, which can be found on our website in the menu item’s description.

With our menu constantly changing, we cannot cater to specific dietary preferences each week. We do make an effort to offer vegan, vegetarian, keto-friendly, gluten free, and dairy free options often. These preferences will be noted with a green ribbon on the menu item photo or in the item description.

The black entree containers and lids can be returned for us to wash, sanitize, and reuse. We strive to make our meal service as sustainable and zero-waste as possible! All other CGF prepared meal packaging can be rinsed and recycled at your home.

Our black entree containers and lids are BPA free and can be used in both the microwave and the freezer. Our soup containers are are also freezer and microwave friendly. All the other containers are not microwavable.

Yes! You can order meals to be delivered to someone else’s house - we have had patrons who live out of Dubuque that have ordered for their aging parents, as a gift for someone who just had a baby, or even as a way to say thank you. Healthy, delicious food is the perfect gift!
