Maddox Lane represents my roots, a place where food is love. I was fortunate to grow up understanding the value of “real” food. Our family grew & raised our food on a humble Kentucky farm. We planted & tended our garden, cared for several acres of strawberry patches, had hay & alfalfa fields, bottle-fed calves, and chased pigs around the yard. Stewed tomatoes, green beans, and homemade jams were canned and on hand year-round. Growing up as a farm kid is a lot of work, a lifestyle that requires year round commitment and lends itself to a strong work ethic and appreciation for food.
Growing up, we shared our day around the table. Our Mom shared a joy and a passion for food and showed love through home cooked meals, but she never took cooking so seriously that it wasn’t fun, and that is the same philosophy I carry. I strongly believe the energy you cook with infuses the meal, therefore the kitchen should be filled with joy.
Just weeks before my sixteenth birthday, Mom was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and stage 4 brain cancer. I was given a jarring look into conventional medicine and our healthcare system along with the pain and suffering that cancer brings. That experience has forever impacted my belief system around food and wellness and is why I strongly value a preventative health care model and a holistic approach.
When I was getting my Business degree, I never thought I would spend as many days in the kitchen as I do now. It was during my time in Los Angeles working under a Nutritionist and overseeing her business operations, that I knew food would be a bigger part of my path. For most clients, the time it took to research, source, and prepare food was the main road block to their success, so we set out to solve that. Together, we created a wildly popular food delivery program, one that I poured a lot of hard-work and heart into creating from the ground up and the experience of creating it gave me the confidence and courage I needed to create my own model of meal delivery with Maddox Lane.
With Maddox Lane we nourish you with a food program that is sustainable long-term. My research and experience led me to base it primarily on Mediterranean diet principles because of the science backed results and integrity in eating that way. While we don’t push fads or diets, Maddox Lane focuses on ingredient integrity, taste, fun, well-being and, love. We provide a balanced and sustainable approach to food, prepared in a way that supports your longevity and brings convenience to your life.
I’ve studied “Blue Zone” lifestyle principles, we strongly emphasize the core principles of The Mediterranean Diet and offer flexible Plant-Based Diet meals to our customers. In 2023, I became a Certified Olive Oil Sommelier, receiving my certification from the Olive Oil Times program in New York City. I dedicated myself to learning as much about the Mediterranean diet principles as I can, because I am as passionate about learning and sharing knowledge as I am cooking and eating.
As we’ve built up a team, I feel fortunate to be surrounded by people who know how tough this business is and encourage me to keep going. Community is what keeps small business going and I wake up grateful for mine every day.
At Maddox Lane, we don’t believe in deprivation, rigidity and restrictions around food. We love you, no matter what you eat. Let’s connect, let’s build a community! Reach out to me via email amber@themaddoxlane.com and give us a follow on Instagram @maddoxlaneaz.
