About Jane Foodie
Jane Foodie began with a simple belief: food should be made the way you would make it at home - with real ingredients, care, and attention to detail. Our scratch-made meals are prepared in small batches and flash frozen to lock in freshness and nutrients, making it easy to enjoy wholesome, comforting food whenever life gets busy. Simply heat, eat, and enjoy.
From Reinvention to Connection
Long before Jane Foodie, founder Jane Carroll built a nationally recognized floral design company from her basement in the Bronx. What began as a small entrepreneurial venture grew into a thriving business serving clients across the country and earning recognition on The Oprah Show and Oprah's O List. Through years of building businesses, Jane discovered that the most meaningful experiences—whether through flowers or food—have one thing in common: they bring people together.
A Life-Changing Turning Point
In July 2008, Jane survived a heart attack caused by a 99.9% blockage. The experience forced her to slow down and reevaluate what truly mattered—health, family, and the role food plays in our well-being.
Just four months later, the Great Recession hit. Like many small business owners, Jane watched an industry she had spent years building suddenly change overnight. The floral business that had earned national recognition and brought joy to thousands of customers was deeply impacted by the economic downturn.
Rather than giving up, Jane chose to reinvent herself once again. She opened a café, immersed herself in the food industry, and began exploring ways to make wholesome, scratch-made meals more accessible. What started as a personal journey toward healthier living eventually became the foundation for Jane Foodie.
Looking back, those two events—one personal and one economic—changed the course of her life and set her on the path to building a company centered on nourishment, resilience, and connection.
Bringing People Together Through Food
Today, Jane Foodie creates scratch-made meals designed to make life easier without sacrificing the comfort and quality of home cooking. But our mission extends beyond food. We believe meals create connection. Whether sharing dinner with family, dropping off a meal for a neighbor, or gathering around a table with friends, food has the power to bring people together. That's why our mission remains simple: make good food accessible, meaningful, and worth sharing.

Looking Ahead
The next chapter of Jane Foodie is taking shape in Port Chester, New York.
Our future flagship will bring together many of the passions that have shaped founder Jane Carroll's journey—food, flowers, wellness, and curated spaces—all under one roof.
The destination will feature a Jane Foodie micro café, fresh flower drops, POPtonics wellness beverages, and thoughtfully curated furnishings and home décor.
More than a storefront, it will be a place to gather, connect, and experience the simple joy of sharing food, beauty, and community.
Because at its heart, Jane Foodie has always been about bringing people together.

Never Eat Alone
Curated Connections
Food has always been about more than what's on the plate.
At Jane Foodie, we believe food is one of the most powerful ways to bring people together. In a world where loneliness and disconnection are increasingly common, we believe sharing a meal can be the beginning of something meaningful.
That's the inspiration behind Never Eat Alone—a growing initiative centered on creating connection through food, conversation, and community.
At our Port Chester flagship, guests will find more than a micro café. We envision a welcoming gathering place where people can slow down, share a meal, write a note, and reconnect with others.
Complimentary stationery, postcards, and handwritten correspondence will encourage guests to reach out to old friends, connect with loved ones, or participate in our Never Eat Alone Correspondence Circle. A community of people who have signed up to exchange letter, postcards, and messages of encouragement.
The café will also serve as a collection point for mailed postcards and letters, helping transform simple acts of kindness into lasting connections.
Whether you're meeting a friend for lunch, sharing a table with someone new, writing a note to someone you miss, or sending a postcard across the country, Never Eat Alone is designed to remind us that meaningful relationships often begin with simple gestures.
As part of our broader mission of curated connection, we are creating experiences that bring people together through food, flowers, thoughtful spaces, wellness, and shared moments.
Because food nourishes the body, but connection nourishes the soul.
Never Eat Alone.
Bring someone to the table. Send a note. Start a conversation. Build a connection.
