Hungry Harvest Shines Over the Sunshine State by Delivering Produce for Healthy Change
MIAMI, September 22, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Floridians are ready for a healthy change and Hungry Harvest offers members of the South Florida community a fresh produce delivery service with an inspiring purpose: combating food waste and hunger across the U.S. After successful launches in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Hungry Harvest finally makes its debut in South Florida.
Hungry Harvest, the Shark Tank start-up, believes every person has the right to eat healthy, and every fruit and vegetable deserves to be eaten. Their inspiring mission to end food waste and hunger in the US starts by rescuing delicious produce that farmers can’t otherwise sell due to cosmetic imperfections or farmer surpluses. Within days of harvest, the rescued produce is curated into weekly customizable produce shares and delivered directly to subscribers starting at just $17.
Filling your plate with healthy produce is one of the most important Whole30 tenets, but not everyone has easy access to fresh or organic produce. Hungry Harvest's goal — helping our Whole30'ers eat healthy on a budget and giving back to communities facing food insecurity — is a perfect match for our life-changing mission.
Melissa Hartwig, Owner & Creator Whole30
For every harvest purchased, Hungry Harvest donates fresh fruits and vegetables to support the Lotus House, a local organization dedicated to improving the lives of homeless women, youth, and children. In recent times of need, Hungry Harvest donated several hundred pounds of produce to Lotus House when the city was left with no power during Irma’s aftermath. To join Hungry Harvest in supporting hurricane victims and sponsor a harvest for someone in need, join their drive here.
To officially kick off the Miami launch, Hungry Harvest is hosting a Miami Press event at the local hotspot, Wynwood Yard, Wednesday, Oct. 4th, at 6 p.m. Attendees will have the opportunity to "shop" our pop-up farmers market, and create a complimentary mini harvest of fresh produce to take home at our Build-a-Box station. Join us for produce delights and a complimentary Hungry Harvest box customized by you!
New customers can use the code HUNGRYMIAMI to save $10 on their first order.
