Hungry Harvest Produce

Have you ever wondered where all the ugly fruit goes? Like the ugly apples or ugly potatoes that the superficial shopper just completely dismisses because it doesn’t fit into what society’s conventions for food are. Luckily there’s a company out there who is finding a good home for all those ugly ducklings out there who just want to be eaten and put in your meal.

Hungry Harvest is that company. So basically what they do is they take the “ugly” fruits and veggies that nobody wants or the farmers cant sell and then they deliver it to their customers (think of them as a CSA in that sense). Their mission is a noble one, a farmer doesn’t want to waste a perfectly good crop because it’s ugly and they don’t want someone to go hungry because they can’t afford the “pretty” fruit.

Each year over six billion pounds of produce is thrown away because it’s not pretty. So these folks help reduce food waste and for every bag they deliver they also donate a healthy meal.

So that’s all great and all, seriously it is. But riddle me this. Is their product/service any damn good?

Much to my chagrin, it was. It was very good. Basically you pick an option that works for you (they have several price points) and they hand deliver a bag of produce to your door. I really loved this aspect of it, because I was literally in my Sunday fat boy pants and I didn’t have to leave the house. First let’s talk money. It’s actually really affordable. The mini harvest which is what I got (pictured above), only runs about $15 per week and if you want the organic version it’s $30 per week. The mini harvest is a fairly good amount of produce and it’s probably enough for most, the quality was perfectly fine. At no point was I thinking to myself, “Man that’s one ugly f’n apple!”, the taste and appearance to me tasted and looked fine.

Overall this seems like a great service, especially for those of you who don’t want to take the CSA plunge. They have all kinds of options and appear to offer more variety than the standard local CSA.

Give Hungry Harvest a try.
