We live in the wealthiest, most agriculturally abundant country in the history of the world, yet 25-40% of produce goes to waste every year, and nearly 50 million people live in homes that can’t afford enough food.13 million American children live in homes that can’t afford enough food. That roughly equals the population of NYC and LA combined.1 in 5 fruits and veggies go to waste because of aesthetic imperfections or logistical inefficiencies (cosmetic imperfections, surpluses, or logistical challenges).Now that a pretty grim picture of the food industry has painted, the question is, what are we doing about it?Hungry Harvest, a produce delivery service, is looking to solve that very problem. Just pick and personalize your harvest and get it delivered right to your door.There are a variety of harvests to choose from – super, full, mini and organic, with a variety of different weekly add ons that will become available in weeks to come, all of which are Whole 30 approved.Knowing that you are eliminating produce waste is only half the fun. For every delivery, Hungry Harvest empowers a family in need by providing access to affordable fruits & veggies through their Produce in a SNAP program.Produce in a SNAP is a partnership between Hungry Harvest and the Lotus House in Miami. For every delivery Hungry Harvest makes to a subscriber, the will donate 1-3 lbs of produce to Lotus House. Every order goes toward reducing hunger in the Miami community.The goal is to allow food-insecure families and individuals who could benefit from affordable produce, including those on government assistance programs such as SNAP/EBT, WIC, and SSDI, to stretch their food budgets and put nutritious produce on their dinner table.Hungry Harvest is now available in Miami for home deliveries.
