Charcuterie
/SHärˈko͞odərē/
“The art of preparing and assembling cured meats and other meat products.” But many people use the term charcuterie to refer to an assortment of meats that are paired with different accompaniments, such as toast, fruit, cheese, olives, nuts and pickles. And that’s just what we offer.
Why a Hummingbird?
People ask me why I chose the name Hungry Hummingbird. Simple – I’ve always been drawn to hummingbirds because, while they seem like delicate creatures, they are actually resilient, constantly in motion, and always eating.
What We Value
Good food goes far beyond just the taste. Our mission and our passion is to create and deliver incredible food experiences while supporting local businesses and products. This is sustainable, environmentally friendly, and supports and values community.
