IndiePlate

Love this service. The ability to access fresh local produce without the hassle of trekking out to the usually crazy crowded Saturday farmers market. Indie Plate offers an amazing array of dairy, proteins and local produce either for delivery or convenient pick up. The staff are great, they have always been amazing. I usually pick up my order and it’s well packed with ice packs and everything is super fresh. Try Indie Plate you won’t be disappointed and you can sleep late on Saturday!

I’ve now ordered from Indie Plate 3 times and am ready to give a review :) I really love what Peru and Ben are doing, bringing local items to local customers with no delivery charge. They have a wonderful array of items beautifully photographed on their site, and sales weekly. As one reviewer wrote, they are on the expensive side, if you’re comparing costs to Winn Dixie or even the «Produce Stands» that we have in town… but if you look at Fresh Market, Alexanders, and Whole Foods, the prices are spot on for organic, local, low-​pesticide fruits and vegetables, and comparable (or lower!) to the pastured and grass-​fed chicken and beef at Whole Foods, plus they have interesting cuts and stock bones available all the time, while Whole Foods does not. They have always delivered on time with a smile on their face and «thank you for your support». The website is easy to use, the produce is fresh, and the meat I’ve purchased has been delicious. You can order dairy products, homemade food from a chef, spice blends from Red Stick Spice Co, and sometimes wooden cutting boards, plus farm fresh pastured eggs from various places around Southern Louisiana. All in all a great service that is really trying to bring the Baton Rouge community together to spread the word about the great products local artisans and farmers have to offer.

Awesome Love this Place! The staff is professional and ordering is easy. I enjoy the amazing prices and deals on weekly meals so worth the price. I’m very glad to be a customer! Not to mention on the perks just for being a customer like free weekly meals and delivery!!! No more long lines at the local grocery market. Yaay: D

One day, when realizing there were only about two places in Baton Rouge to get decent meat, I decided to try Indie Plate. I got a full two weeks groceries from there, necessities, plus some, and it was about the same total that I would normally spend at any supermarket.
When my groceries arrived at my door (at no additional cost) in insulated totes with coolers (I was at work), the relief of not fighting traffic and having to start dinner after dark was a huge relief. On top of that everything was incredibly delicious. Because everything was sourced from local farms the flavored were explosive compared to steroid grown produce found at the store.
I also received a hand written note with some extra add ons that they thought would compliment my meals along with in house recipe cards.
Every meal I made was delicious. I grew up on a farm and loved knowing I was supporting and giving back to the community all while benefiting from it as well.
I loved the service so much that I contacted them and asked if I could volunteer my service to help them out.
3 months later I quit my long time job and came to work full time for Indie Plate. A small local business I believe in that gives back to their community and many ways, and promotes healthy and tasty foods.

Got our second order from Indie yesterday. We were again very pleased with our order. This order was mainly fall veggies: kale, boc choy, tomatoes, eggplant, and stuffed grape leaves. Again we got free eggs with our delivery. Had a kale salad for dinner. Good quality items. We plan on continuing to order from them!

I love indieplate. I decided to give them a try last week to get some meats for our labor day bbq. Thursday afternoon I ordered a variety of meats, beef ribs, steak, chicken quarters, wings, shrimp and it all came in great condition the following Saturday. The street I live on is new, so I received a call for directions and the guy was very pleasant. My parents accepted the ordered and said the customer service upon delicery was wonderful. I would definitely use them again.

I’ve known one of the owners since IndiePlate was just starting out and could not be happier to see what this business has grown in to! It’s great getting local produce and meals delivered right to your door from knowledgeable people. I have yet to order anything I haven’t liked and the blog with recipes is always great! These guys work hard and are passionate about what they do. Keep it up y’all!

I love the Indie Plate concept but there have been a few glitches. My first order included wild caught shrimp that was to come to me «frozen». I picked it up at Red Stick Spice Co. and hadn’t planned to cook it that night because it was coming frozen. It was thawed and upon inspection I found the heads were mushy so I was afraid to cook it. No worries though, I sent an email and they offered to replace it and give me a discount on my next order. The replacement shrimp were higher priced per pound, arrived frozen and they considered it an even exchange. 5 stars for customer service.
My next order was a bit of an unpleasant surprise due to poor product description. I ordered ravioli from the prepared food section that stated «One ingredient semolina.» as the description, but it had Goat cheese. I hate goat cheese so I gifted them to a friend that loves it (expensive impromptu gift). I informed Indie Plate and was told someone on Chef Dan Esses staff entered the description. The description listed Ricotta, «Got», Feta and Parmesan cheeses when I viewed it today. Hmmm a «Got»? I am sure I would still hate cheese from a Got.
The free eggs that came with my order had hard shells, bright yellow high domed yolks and tasted amazing. That is definitely a major, but temporary, perk for shoppers. I was really impressed with the bold flavors of the Heirloom Cherokee tomatoes, but the fresh Basil was way overpriced and too mild. Chef Dan Esses does make very tasty Zesty Marinara sauce but it isn’t available on today’s menu. It’s a bit pricey but I’d buy it again.
Despite the glitches I like Indie Plate and would use them again.

The founders of IP believe in their work, and deliver food themselves. All the goods are fresh, and kept that way with lots of care. Also, they have the best eggs in the city!

Online grocery shopping that delivers!!! Need I say more?!
And its the healthiest food out there! Grass-​fed meats, organic everything, local produce, just a click away for one-​stop shopping. I was able to buy all the ingredients for a home-​made Filipino stew if that tells you indieplate has it all! Snacks that are Paleo friendly, desserts from Les Amis Bakery and more! If I’m not gonna be home, no problem, I can pick up my groceries at Red Stick Spice across the street!
Take advantage of Unilocal’s checkin offer, I saved $ 20 on my first order! I love that meats and ready-​made meals are frozen, that way I don’t have to worry about sitting out (I almost forgot to get my groceries one time, thank goodness for indieplate email reminders!)
And its wonderful that I’m getting the same products that the best chefs in town use. (I used to sell products from Switzerland to pastry chefs back in Memphis, and I could not afford the products I sold.) I feel spoiled that I am buying the best meats and produce in Baton Rouge; the same products found in the best restaurants in BR! I find the prices comparable to Whole Foods or Fresh Market. I don’t have to hunt down the products to eat well, I stay in pjs in the comfort of home sweet home.
If this not-​so-​tech-​savvy, soccer Mom can do it, you can too!

I’ve been wanting to order from here for quite some time and finally bit the bullet. I ordered two beef tenerloin steaks, two pork cheeks (because where else can I buy these??) and two orders of smoked sliced bacon. My order was wrong… which really set me off on the wrong foot. Instead of two packages of sliced bacon, I received on sliced and one cubed like you need for cracklins. Not that I don’t love cracklins but I certainly don’t make them at home. I let that one slide as I’m sure I can find something to do with it but not the greatest way to start.
All the meat was frozen which I wasn’t really expecting but didn’t seem to matter too much. I defrosted the steaks and cooked them the same day. They were some of the best steaks I’ve had. The quality and flavor of the meat was perfect. We are on our way to redemption. Even my bf commented on the quality of the steaks.
I have yet to cook anything else but will update my review once I have.
Overall I’m not convinced to order from them again… yet.

«Fresh produce straight from the farm to your table». Ohhhhhh yes, it is played out exactly that way! When I found out about this service being offered here in Baton Rouge, I was immediately impressed. Thank you IndiePlate for helping make Baton Rouge more mainstream. After moving here almost 6 years ago, there were only a few places that reminded me of home, but alas, this metro is experiencing a huge amount of growth and all sorts of businesses have broken ground here!
Now, who does not love local and want to support local business in every way, shape and form? IndiePlate is a prime example of a business that thrives off of what local farmers and artisans have to offer. We finally get to experience how it truly feels to shop locally… and I am not talking about just shopping at a store that is located in Baton Rouge that carries items from out-​of-​state producers. IndiePlate procures produce from local farms, pasture-​raised dairy and poultry right here in Louisiana, baked goods from Red Stick bakeries and so much more. Their selection is vast and they just keep adding more unique products to their lists.
Even though they are an Internet based business, you will still receive the most stellar customer service from owners Peru and Ben, whom are based right here in Baton Rouge!
I have ordered from IndiePlate a couple times and they did not disappoint. If something you have ordered does not pass their quality inspection, they will not give you the item and reimburse you for it. Some of my favorite items I prefer to frequently order from them are: kale (curly kale and dino kale), mustard greens, oranges, apples, garlic, bok choy, broccoli and carrots. Items are priced competitively and the quality is just like you would get from a farmer’s market! Some of the other locally-​made items you can order from IndiePlate are: dressings, jams, breads, sauces, tortillas, artisanal cheeses and snack/​snack mixes. Foods from local farms: meats & poultry (come frozen), eggs, cheeses and more.
Delivery to your place of residence is always $ 3.95 no matter how much you order or a free delivery to any of their designated delivery spots. As of right now, they deliver to Baton Rouge, Port Allen/​Brusly/​Addis, Prairieville and Denham Springs. Log on to
to place your order today and experience the freshness delivered right to your door! Bam, your shopping has been done for you! In addition to residential deliveries, IndiePlate also delivers fresh ingredients to some local restaurants for them to use on some of their menu items. Restaurants, such as City Pork Brasserie and Bar and cafes, such as Magpie Café are just a couple of those businesses. Oh how I love IndiePlate and love supporting local businesses!
