Macaroni Kid Review: Hungry Harvest

An honest review on Hungry Harvest produce delivery service!

By Kat Swift, Publisher Macaroni Kids Timonium - North Baltimore March 29, 2021

If your family is anything like my family, you are always busy and on the go. Grocery shopping is one of my most dreaded tasks every week! I am always searching for ways to make our lives a little easier when it comes to food shopping, meal planning, and cooking and that’s when I came across Hungry Harvest. 

Hungry Harvest is a farm to doorstep produce delivery service that is a convenient way to get farm fresh fruits, vegetables, and grocery staples delivered directly to you while skipping the hassle of the grocery store! 

We decided to give Hungry Harvest a try and absolutely loved it! The online ordering was simple and easy, and they give you the option of three different sized harvest deliveries which are available in both organic and non-organic. The produce boxes are budget conscious and start at just $15! The best part is they are fully customizable, which is perfect for families with picky fruit and veggie eaters! 

We cook pretty much every night of the week so I decided to go with the Super Harvest box which includes 1-2 types of greens, 4-7 types of vegetables and 2-5 types of fruits. This option is perfect for families of 4 or more and provided the perfect amount of produce for my family of four for the week. There is also the option to add on pantry staples and market items such as cage-free eggs, fresh herbs, breads, salad dressings, snack items, and more. 


Our first box was delivered by a local driver and was contact-free. I received a text message from Hungry Harvest that my delivery was on the way and within 10 minutes it arrived neatly packed and on my doorstep. We were so impressed by the quality of the produce we received! The fruits and vegetables in our Super Harvest box were fresh and so nicely packaged. 

The part I love most is we received a few items my daughters have not tried before and we discovered they love them -- my 4-year-old now has newfound obsession with mangos, which we normally would have never purchased! We also made the most delicious kid-friendly smoothie with the pineapple and mangoes from our delivery. (I was even able to sneak in some spinach!)

Getting the weekly box has also taken the headache out of meal planning for me because I have the chance to plan our weekly dinners around the produce we will be receiving. A few days before the Hungry Harvest delivery we receive an email with exactly what will be included in our produce box and we have the opportunity to customize our box.

 


Lastly, I made the decision to give Hungry Harvest a try because I love their overall company mission. Every produce delivery they send out saves at least 10 pounds of produce from going to waste and helps support the work of local hunger-solving organizations, as well as Hungry Harvest’s own food access initiatives, including: community markets, pandemic relief programs, and donations.
