David lives in Brooklyn where he’s logged more than a decade writing about all things edible, including meal kits and meal delivery subscriptions, cooking, kitchen gear and commerce. Since earning a BA in English from Northeastern in Boston, he’s toiled in nearly every aspect of the eats business from slicing and dicing as a sous-chef in Rhode Island to leading complex marketing campaigns for major food brands in Manhattan. These days, he’s likely somewhere trying the latest this or tasting the latest that – and reporting back, of course. Anything with sesame is his all-time favorite food this week.

Misfits Market aims to prevent food waste by delivering boxes of fruits and vegetables that maybe aren’t your average shape or size, but are still perfectly good to cook with (and delicious). Plus, Misfits Market guarantees that its subscription boxes are up to 40% less than what you’d spend at your local grocery store. The company sources organic and non-GMO produce from local organic regional farms and ships to the Northeast, South and Midwest (with plans to expand to more states). Expect this produce box to offer an ever-changing selection of fruits and vegetables including leafy greens, watermelon radishes, zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, apples and mangoes.
The plan: With a minimum spend of $35 per delivery, the Mischief is an organic produce delivery starter box geared toward smaller households that can be shipped weekly or biweekly. You choose from hundreds of produce options as well as pantry staples, meats and dairy to knock a whole bunch of items off your weekly shopping list.

Imperfect Foods operates as a produce subscription and grocery delivery service offering “ugly” (aka imperfect) foods such as misshapen carrots or oversized eggs at a discount. Organic and conventional produce, which can be customized and altered based on your taste preferences and dietary restrictions, can be dropped off at your door, along with grocery staples and snacks, like eggs, olive oil and sausages. The brand also offers pantry item options and baked goods. Put in your ZIP code to see if your location is in their delivery area.
The plan: Plans are customized and priced based on your household size, whether you want organic or nonorganic produce, and whether you’re looking to add in grains, snacks, dairy and meat and fish. Still, 11 to 13 pounds of organic produce starts at $39. There are no subscription fees or commitments to worry about.
