Did you know 20 billion pounds of produce goes to waste every year before it even leaves the farm? Because it takes at least 48 gallons of water to produce one pound of food, resources are wasted every time vegetables are thrown away.

Enter: Hungry Harvest’s grocery delivery service. They aim to reduce food waste + save resources by delivering fresh fruits + vegetables straight to your door.

Here’s how it works: When you log onto their website, you can customize a farm-fresh fruit + veggie box for your household’s needs, then add on more items from their marketplace of pantry items (think: snacks, eggs, plant-based proteins + more).

Here’s the impact of one Hungry Harvest delivery by the numbers:

  • 480: The gallons of water saved
  • 30: The pounds of greenhouse gas emissions saved
  • 10: The pounds of food that will be eaten instead of getting thrown away

Bonus: First-time customers can use code RAL50 to save 50% through June 30, 2023. 🥬*
