Our Story

Hey there!  My name is Aaron Levine and I am the founder of Homespun Kitchen. I’ve been dreaming of creating healthy fast food restaurants since I was in high school.  With the amazing encouragement, support and help from my wife Angela and an incredible team, what was once a dream has been a reality since 2009!

For me, the dream of creating Homespun started in the mid 1990’s. Growing up, I saw how hard it was for my parents, who both worked, to cook and eat healthy. There were plenty of convenient options but none of them were healthy. As a matter of a fact, most of the options were awful for us! Fast food was a staple in our house growing up. Witnessing this struggle and wanting to help solve the problem was the initial inspiration for Homespun!

After graduating high school, I went to college and studied engineering however I worked at restaurants, collected menus from around the world and continually worked on plans for my healthy restaurant. In mid 2009, with tremendous encouragement from Angela, the timing was right and the official journey began!

Today, Homespun is the best version of my visions from the 1990s! Homespun is a place where you can get delicious, responsible, scratch-made-food, fast.  I wrote more about our journey in a blog post a while back.

Today, our goals have expanded far beyond just serving healthy food fast. As our understanding of the restaurant industry has evolved, we have learned that there are many more challenges to solve beyond just serving healthy food fast. We have become obsessed with sustainability, sourcing, creating an amazing place to work, creating careers, helping our community and mentoring aspiring business owners.  Thanks for reading, Aaron.
