Vegetables and fruit make great healthy snacks, smoothies, and meal ingredients, but keeping your fridge stocked with them can be a pain. Your time is precious and you may not want to spend it walking the aisles of a grocery store trying to find the perfect fruits and vegetables. Produce can be delivered straight to your door and it will be some of the best, fresh food with the top delivery services. Many of these subscriptions focus on reducing food waste by taking imperfect-looking foods that stores won’t take and giving them a home, since they’re just as good to eat as “ideal-looking” fruits and vegetables. If you want organic foods, there are also options for deliveries that only source from local farms.

Many of the vendors on our list deliver more than quality fruits and vegetables, too. You can have farm-fresh eggs, wholesome grains, dairy, meat and pantry staples delivered alongside your produce haul. All are geared toward making healthy eating affordable and easy.

Whether you’re after odd-looking fruit on the cheap, organic vegetables from a family farm or something in between, read on for our picks of the best produce delivery service on the market in 2024.

Imperfect Foods operates as both a produce subscription as well as a grocery delivery service. Just as the name implies, this delivery service brings you imperfect food, 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. Delivery is available to all of the continental United States, so put in your ZIP code to see if your location is in their delivery area.

Although FreshDirect is known as a grocery delivery service for everything — not just produce — the New York-based company is now offering subscription-free local farm share boxes. Partnering with Hepworth Farms, Lancaster Farm Fresh and Dig Acres, FreshDirect is allowing its Northeast customers to order produce boxes from the Hudson Valley and Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The plan: Add the CSA boxes to your cart the same way you would other groceries. There are several to choose from, including the Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative local organic vegetable farm share filled with eight to ten items for $30.
