About Us.
Allow us to introduce ourselves: we’re ipsa provisions, a new kind of frozen food company!
We’re on a mission to help people eat better at home with a new category of high-quality convenience food (‘fine food frozen’). Our products are first and foremost delicious, made with the very best ingredients, and easy-to-prepare for a fantastic meal at home without fuss. Our menu features a variety of dishes that rotate seasonally. We believe frozen food doesn’t have to be a last resort–it’s something to get excited about!
We were launched in February 2020 by a team of food-loving New Yorkers with experience at companies like Chipotle, Etsy, and Blue Apron and restaurants like Gramercy Tavern. Explore our menu and learn more about us at eatipsa.com.
