Hungry Harvest

Paused.The website says new subscriptions are paused for now.

What's in the box: A changing weekly mix of fresh fruits and vegetables, often surplus or rescued produce, with optional add-on grocery staples.

Hungry Harvest is not operating normally right now: the company says new subscriptions are paused, so new customers cannot start deliveries. When it was running, Hungry Harvest was a US produce delivery service. It worked with farmers to rescue fruits and vegetables that might otherwise have gone to waste. Customers picked a harvest box, starting at $17, in several sizes and options, including organic. They could customize a box for free and add grocery staples from an online Marketplace. Local drivers delivered to the door instead of a national shipping carrier, so service covered specific delivery areas only. The company put its mission front and center. It promoted cutting food waste and supporting donations to hunger relief organizations, and it listed a SNAP and donation program along with community programs such as HarvestRx and school partnerships. The site also offered storage tips, simple recipes and ideas for cooking every part of a plant, which helped with unfamiliar produce. The selection changed each week. Some shoppers enjoy that, and others find it unpredictable. The site does not say when or whether new subscriptions will reopen. Until it does, people who need regular produce delivery should use a service that is taking customers now.
