Lunch, far from any kitchen.

We built Hearth & Haul for one thing: a lunch that heats itself wherever the work is, without hunting for a microwave.

Lunch was never built around a kitchen.

People who build, drive and repair have always eaten where the work is: on a beam, in a cab, on a tailgate.

What they carry has changed less than you would think. A sandwich, a thermos that starts at whatever temperature you poured in and only goes down, or a trip to wherever there is a microwave.

The line at the microwave

When there is one, there is a line. When there is no line, it is dirty, or it dries the food out, or the site simply does not have one.

So lunch becomes a cold container, a gas station stop, or nothing at all. How many worksites offer a place to prepare food

One object, not a catalog

We sell one box: a lunch box that heats on its own battery, on a delay you set before your shift. It removes a dependency; it does not add a gadget.

Why, for whom, and how.

Why

We built Hearth & Haul around one stubborn problem: a real lunch, heated where the work is. When people who build, drive and repair describe their break, the same scene comes back: a meal packed the night before, eaten cold in a cab or on a tailgate, because the only microwave is across the site, or there is none. A thermos only slows the cooling. So we built a brand around the fix, not a catalog: a lunch box that heats on its own battery, on a delay you set before your shift.

For whom

For the people who build, drive, repair and tend, and who bring lunch from home: on a site with no microwave, in a truck cab, between two calls. We read about 400 public posts in which people describe their lunch at work. Three things kept coming up: a thermos that cools before the break, nowhere to heat a meal, and a break that moves.
