BusinessInterviews.com: What inspired you to launch your business?

Michael McDevitt: My wife and I are busy people. When we learned the wonderful news that we were going to become parents, we had a desire to create the same family dinner experience for our children that we had growing up with our families. To make this possible, we had to find a realistic way to cook healthy meals at home. I learned of the new meal kit companies that were out there and tried them all out. We liked the fact that it cut out the grocery store, however, they lacked the healthy variety that matched our eating style and they often took too long to prepare. I sought out to create a business that provided a product that fit our lifestyle. We built Terra’s Kitchen around the pillars of Convenience, Health, and Sustainability.

BusinessInterviews.com: Where do you envision your company in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years?

Michael McDevitt: With all the events and transactions occurring in e-comm grocery these days, it is tough to see too far out. You plan for the long-term, but must react and adjust to where the world is moving in the short-term. I do see the line that is drawn between retail and e-comm grocery fading away. While they require very different skill sets to succeed, we are serving the same customers.
