Activate Foods Delivering delicious meals to the Central Coast, Sydney & Newcastle. www.activatefoods.com.au Activate foods has always been a family run business.

Delivering healthy & delicious meals to the Central Coast, Sydney & Newcastle. We are based in a commercial kitchen at Erina on the Central Coast. Our company represents the culmination of two passions- making delicious food and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Head Chef Marty is a classically trained chef with 19 years of hospitality experience. Food has always been a central part of his professional life. This passion has saw him travel around Australia refining his skills in hotels, restaurants, and resorts. Seven years ago, Marty embarked on a lifestyle change to pursue another passion, and began a career as a personal trainer and CrossFit coach. Marty started Activate foods wanting to help his clients that he coached. The business has evolved into creating delicious, home delivered meals to Newcastle, Sydney and the Central Coast. In October 2017, we opened our first retail store at Erina allowing Central Coast customers to collect thier meals each week. Here at Activate Foods, We understand that healthy eating takes a lot of time and energy. This is especially true on days off work where you have to prepare food for the rest of the week. We offer meals that incorporate clean eating and paleo principles,
so let us do the meal prep for you! Then you can enjoy your time off again without worrying about what to make for lunch and dinner for the following week. We believe that eating well doesn't have to be boring and that convenient meals don't have to be full of preservatives and flavor enhancers. At Activate Foods, We make curry pastes, spice mixes, and stock from scratch. We believe in showcasing the natural flavors of the foods we make. We are proud of what we do. We also welcome any feedback you have on how we can improve.

We were just a couple of kids who wanted to make eating healthy easier. In the beginning there wasn’t a big goal, grand plan or dream we were looking to fulfil.

It all began in our kitchen at home. Marty helped out one PT client with his meals, then another and another. They’d tell their friends and we’d make some more for them too. Each new friend inspiring us to think about what could be possible.

Could we start a business doing this? Would strangers buy our meals? Could we deliver them? How far? How many?

We look back now, 10 years later and wonder what would we think if someone told us then about where we are today. Hundreds of customers, a full team of staff and looking at ways we can make things even better.

We took things slow, never reached for the stars. Focussed on quality and service. Listened to our customers. Ensured our meals taste home made.

It’s been a wild ride, learning all the things that come with running a business. But it’s exactly where we want to be. Making healthy eating easier for you and for us 😜

Wow!! 10 years sounds like a long time. And it is. But to us, it feels like yesterday.

We were just two kids giving it a go, trying to make healthy food easy.

We used to make up delivery boxes on our lounge room floor with our 3 year old daughter passing us the liners.

We would wake up early to use the kitchen we’d sub leased before the other business started.

Our family and friends would help us. Endless broccoli to cut and sweet potato to peel. Nothings changed there haha!

And to our amazing customers who have come along for the journey - thank you. Thank you for welcoming us into your home, sharing our meals with your friends and keeping us going. Without you, I don’t know where we’d be.

We truly love what we do and we’ve surrounded ourselves with people who love food just as much as we do. Our team make working fun, they care about everything they do and we can’t thank them enough. Past and present - we’re so thankful for you.

Start at the bottom and work your way up. The humble dishy was where it all began. A busy cafe and helped by my family, I learnt everything that needed to be done to keep our customers happy.

I took that learning with me everywhere I went. Every job matters, even if our customers can’t see it.

I grew up in a family business and now this is our family business. In the beginning, our parents all got stuck into help - chopping veg, delivering orders and babysitting our kids. Our nieces and nephew have worked for us and now our girls are keen to help.

It’s a full circle moment but it’s where I always wanted to be - making our customers happy.

It’s crazy to think we’ve been making meals for almost 10 years. It feels like yesterday it was just the two of us in our kitchen at home.

We love that we still have customers from 10 years ago, who helped us get the business off the ground. They told their friends, who told their friends and well… here we are.

Thank you, to everyone who enjoys a meal. You’re the best!
