Our Story
Artisanal Abundance was inspired by my full-time work, where I frequently host happy hours and presentations. These experiences ignited a passion for creating memorable moments centered around food and connection. What began as a way to elevate events in my professional life soon grew into a love for crafting beautiful charcuterie boards and grazing tables.
Seeing how a thoughtfully curated spread can bring people together sparked the vision for Artisanal Abundance. Today, we channel that same passion into every creation, combining fresh ingredients, artistic presentation, and a deep appreciation for the joy of gathering. Artisanal Abundance isn’t just a business; it’s a celebration of shared moments and the flavors that make them unforgettable.

1. Is Artisanal Abundance suitable for dietary restrictions?
Absolutely! Just let us know in the special instructions box at checkout. I’m happy to accommodate vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten or dairy sensitivities. If you have specific allergies or preferences, please feel free to reach out!
2. Can I order the same day?
Unfortunately, no. Due to the love and care that goes into crafting each spread, I require advance notice to ensure your order is perfect.
3. How can I provide feedback?
We value your input and would love to hear from you! Share your thoughts through the contact form on our website or let me know in person. Your feedback helps us grow and serve you better.
4. What’s the best way to store my charcuterie board before serving?
To keep everything fresh, store your charcuterie board in the refrigerator until about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to come to life and ensures your guests enjoy the best experience.
5. Do you offer delivery?
Yes, we only offer delivery, no pick up. Delivery is available within Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, Alameda and San Francisco. For custom graze tables I may be available for farther distances. Please fill out the graze table form to check availability. Additional fees may apply depending on your location.
6. Do you provide serving utensils or plates?
No, not with our standard boards. Upon request, I can include serving utensils. If you need plates or other serving accessories, let me know when placing your order, and I’ll be happy to assist with additional add ons.
With graze tables we will address what serving utensils and/or plates you would like to include into your proposal.
7. Can I customize my charcuterie board or grazing table?
Of course! I’m happy to work with you to create a spread tailored to your theme, preferences, or occasion. Just let me know what you have in mind in the special instructions, and we can discuss.
8. What’s the cancellation policy?
For orders placed five or more days in advance of the scheduled delivery date, I may be able to issue a store credit. Due to the ingredients being sourced fresh for every order and the small nature of my business I will not be able to accept cancellations.
