Looking to freshen up your plate this year? Why not start with an organic produce subscription box. They’re great for the environment (less international shipping), fantastic for local farmers (less food waste), and good for your budget—no shade to conventional grocery stores though; shop where you can, however works best for you!
Our editors have rolled up their sleeves and dug up the nine best produce delivery companies for organic fruit delivery, vegetable delivery, and protein boxes right to your door. We’ve paid special attention to finding produce boxes in a wide range of locations, from Los Angeles and New York to Minneapolis, Tulsa, Houston, and many others.
Some of the organic grocery delivery subscription services on this list work with surplus fruit, while others sell “ugly” vegetables that don’t sell in stores. These boxes are bringing fresh, seasonal goods to the forefront, rescuing produce from landfills, and making delivery more convenient than ever. Win-win.

Best For | Seasonal, fresh farm produce with no subscription commitment
After becoming a mother, founder and CEO Ashley Tyrner started Farmbox Direct when she realized how difficult it was to balance her busy schedule and the weekly trip to her local farmer’s market. With her family’s background in farming, it felt only natural to start a business that connected farmers directly to busy consumers who wanted to feed their families fresh, local produce but were struggling to shop for the goods themselves. Each week, an email with menus of what’s being harvested arrive in your inbox, and you can customize your delivery with the simple click of your mouse. And there’s no commitment necessary— pause or skip your box as needed, anytime, for any reason!

Each box comes with an illustrated “User Manual” to orient you with the goods, along with hot tips and recipes for how to prepare them. Try their seasonal boxes if you simply want to spice up your weekly meals, or try a monthly theme box to kick a dinner party into the next gear. Build-your-own boxes are also available starting at a minimum of $55.
