Who we are

Home Grown Meals is a full-service farm-to-table events company based in New York City, creating memorable gatherings centered around seasonal, locally sourced food and thoughtful hospitality.

Founded by Chef Sean Patrick Gallagher, Home Grown Meals grew from years of private chef work in New York’s most celebrated homes into a full-scale catering and events company known for vibrant seasonal menus, beautiful presentation, and effortless entertaining. What began as intimate dinners and private chef experiences has grown into a trusted catering partner for weddings, corporate events, brand activations, and large-scale celebrations throughout New York City, the Hamptons, and Upstate New York.

At the heart of everything we do is a deep commitment to seasonal ingredients and strong relationships with local farms and purveyors. Our menus highlight the best of each season — peak produce, responsibly sourced meats and seafood, and scratch-made dishes designed to feel abundant, fresh, and delicious. Food is always the centerpiece, but we believe great events are about more than the menu. They are about atmosphere, generosity, and the feeling that guests are truly cared for.

Home Grown Meals produces a wide range of events, from intimate chef-led dinners in private homes to large weddings and multi-day celebrations. Our team works closely with clients to design menus and service styles that reflect the tone of each event, whether that means elegant plated dinners, lively family-style feasts, grazing tables, or beautifully curated buffets.

We regularly partner with event planners, venues, and creative teams to execute weddings, rehearsal dinners, milestone celebrations, and destination gatherings. Our wedding clients trust us to create menus that feel personal, seasonal, and joyful — food that brings people together and becomes part of the memory of the day.

In addition to private celebrations, Home Grown Meals frequently caters corporate events and brand activations for companies looking to create thoughtful hospitality experiences for their guests. From office launches and executive dinners to large brand events and retreats, our team designs menus that feel polished yet approachable, always rooted in the same seasonal philosophy.

Our clients include private families, creative agencies, luxury brands, technology companies, and organizations hosting everything from intimate dinners for twelve guests to events serving hundreds.

With a commissary kitchen in Long Island City and a farmhouse kitchen in the Hudson Valley, our team produces events across New York City, the Hamptons, and Upstate New York, as well as destination gatherings throughout the region.

Above all, Home Grown Meals believes the best events feel warm, abundant, and effortless — where guests feel welcome, the table is full, and every detail is thoughtfully considered.
