According to the Technomic Consulting Company 80% of consumers purchase a prepared meal at least once a month. The AZ Food Crafters - Kitchen and Catering was opened in 2011 by two business partners who prepared ready to eat meals in a commercial kitchen and sold their products at farmers markets. Their menu mainly included baked sweet and hand pies that were frozen but today their business has expanded to include prepared meals based on their catering menu and a to go service at the shop. They make over 1000 hand pies a week and people can also order diet foods of all kinds including paleo and keto.
