Hometown Harvest

I am a new subscriber to their Veggie bag service and so far I am soo happy with my choice to join. I was one of those farmer’s market loving shoppers and came across Hometown Harvest at the EmporiYUM event. It has made life so much easier for me. I order what I would like for the week and like magic its there every Friday waiting for me. What I love even more is you can add super fresh milk, eggs, cheese, (meats too if you eat those), pantry staples all from small craftsmen and local farms. I lived abroad for a while and coming back to the states was a huge adjustment in that the foods we buy at the grocery store are so full of additives and preservatives it was making me extremely sick. Its been so nice to have fresh truly wholesome food delivered right to my door with no weird unnecessary additives. Plus a benefit has been I now spend less on groceries than I did before. Ordering makes it easier for me to think about what I want for the week and has kept me from impulse buying at the grocery store. I order the small custom bag, so far the produce looks and tastes great and has exceeded my expectations.
Bonus tip: the chocolate milk heated makes brilliant hot chocolate!

I went looking for a organic fruit and vegetable home delivery service via Google in order to send items to my a sick friend. I found a couple of options, but Hometown Harvest’s structure swayed me. I had a couple of questions as I was placing my order, and Abby was quick to assist via the Web site’s Chat function. Once Abby found out I was sending the order to someone else, she informed me that she keeps cards on-​hand that can be personalized with a message. That was a WONDERFUL and much appreciated touch!
The day of the custom large bag’s arrival I received messages from two of my friend’s relatives saying how amazing everything looked and how happy it made her.
I’m already spreading the word amongst my friends and coworkers. And now that I know they have gluten-​free bakery items, I can’t wait to place an order for myself!
Thank you, Hometown Harvest!

I have been a long-​term customer of Washington’s Green Grocer Home Delivery and I just recently found out about Hometown Harvest delivery service. I had my first delivery this week and I am so, so happy!
I have been trying to find a home dairy delivery service for Trickling Springs Milk at a reasonable price. I finally found it! I love the glass bottle milk options. Grass fed cows and both Organic options and No Synthetic Hormone Milk from grass fed cows in all options finding this type of milk in 2% is very difficult to find in a store, let alone home delivery.
Plus Eggs that are local, pasture raised, hormone free, and antibiotic free at a reasonable price too have been on my search list as well. The eggs and milk are what made me sign up.
The best bonus is the local gluten free bakery items, while not cheap, they are worth it! Gluten free foods cost more to make and if i went to a bakery to purchase items, they would not be cheap either. The taste is amazing for both bakeries. The gf rolls melt in your mouth.
I do not buy the pre-​packaged bags of fruits and veggies but chose my own items that are in season and organic that my family likes to eat vs whatever is in season. But, if my family would eat any fruit and veggie they pre-​packaged bags are a good deal too. Sadly they won’t, so I am so happy I am given the option to pick and choose whatever they will eat.
The local meats, mostly organic and pasture raised are the best too. Local Corned Beef makes this Irish gal over the moon with happiness :)

I’m new to Hometown Harvest. I received my 1^st order yesterday and I’m very pleased. The produce looks beautiful. I will be ordering again.

Would give them 0 stars if I could. I liked the idea of groceries delivered and was excited when I got their information that they were local in Maryland and made my first purchase. I received an invoice of $ 14 in deposits for what is $ 5 worth of actual deposit product. I have in my possession 1 milk bottle and 1 red insulated bag– apparently they didn’t think my cooler was big enough which is fine. I should be billed a deposit of $ 2 for the milk bottle which I was aware of and $ 3 for the insulated bag which would be fine with even though I wasn’t aware.
Unfortunately my invoice says I have 3 green bags that I never got — I have emails from their staff person Abby trying to help me without being helpful. In 6 emails she still hasn’t told me why the billing went from $ 2 for a milk bottle deposit to $ 6.50, and keeps saying its a running total but won’t tell me what the mystery 4.50 amount came from…
I want to use them but I don’t have time to monitor this closely and can’t risk being over charged. Not going to work with them again.

I’ve been a Hometown Harvest member since the South Mountain Veggie days and I absolutely love the company. What’s better than cutting out a trip to the grocery store and having fresh vegetables delivered directly to your home. Not only is this convenient but also eliminates the dreaded post work trip to Whole Foods where you are too hungry to make responsible decisions and end up with more food than a family of four could eat in a week let alone a single woman.
Everything I receive is always high quality and on the rare occasions when everything isn’t perfect the owners are very responsive and have been quick to remedy the situation. Highly recommended for busy people looking for an easy way to stay healthy.

We received our first delivery last week — mostly produce. It was all beautiful! The fruit (local apples, especially) and veggies taste wonderful. We will be ordering more in the future, including meat and fish and other products.

Received our first delivery yesterday! Can not say enough about how wonderful it was to have such fresh, organic veggies, fruits, milk, and eggs delivered to my door step. We will definitely be creating an on-​going delivery with Hometown Harvest. So excited to have found this company on Certifikid.

Got our first delivery yesterday, and we are as pleased as punch. It was a veggie/​fruit bag. Stuff looks great, cooks great, and tastes great. We’ll be expanding our order next week. Great people to deal with!

Just had my first delivery this week. I have to say, the honey crisp apples were absolutely perfect. I also loved the pumpkin pie nut butter! I will be a regular with this service and definitely recommend giving them a try.

Just had our first delivery with HH. So happy with it. The food all looks super fresh. The items that I have tried have been absolutely delicious. We have been wanting to try this service for a while now and I so glad we did.
Ordering and delivery was very easy. I left special instructions for our delivery guy and it worked perfectly. The delivery also came earlier than expected so my hubby happened to be home when it came. The driver confirmed that the instructions were clear and it was also nice to see who would be delivering our order every week.
For the value, this is VERY worth the money. I’ve told several of my friends and coworkers about it. Can’t wait to continue using HH.

Love Hometown Harvest. I’ve been getting their stuff for years now (when they were South Mountain Veggies) and have always been thrilled. I eat healthier because of them and have gotten more creative in my cooking (learning how to cook with unfamiliar veggies). The variety is great — obviously some seasons are more fun than others (summer peaches, I miss you) depending on your tastes. Things like peppers, tomatoes and strawberries — you’ll never be able to buy them from a grocery store again, the taste is so remarkably different (unless you’re paying for the fancy whole foods like stuff).
Recently though, they started carrying other food items (ok, maybe it wasn’t that recent but I just started paying attention) like soup, soup starters, proteins and pies. This week I decided to be adventurous and order a couple Teeny Pies (out of Union Kitchen — HH now delivers these). OMG — Sheppard’s pie beyond amazing. Thank you, HH, for bringing me veggies, fruits, and now pies. My world is complete.
The price really is reasonable if you think about what you’d have to pay to get similar quality in a grocery store. Plus, if you don’t drive, it’s way cheaper than grocery delivery services or taking a taxi (or even taking the bus/​metro, depending on how far you have to go).
I get a small bag — $ 29.50 — which is plenty for two people who don’t cook every single night. I end up actually freezing a lot of stuff in the summer time. Just as an example, my bag this week (and winter is markedly leaner than summer) had six oranges, three pears, three onions, a bunch of green onions, two humungous red bell peppers and two green bell peppers.
Really, their product is great, their customer service is great, and the convenience is awesome. Plus, at the end of the day, you’re eating healthier and supporting local, organic etc farmers. Why wouldn’t you sign up?

Hometown Harvest gets 5 stars in all categories! I made my first order and received everything on time and in amazing condition. I ordered a Large Fixed Bag which came with a wide assortment of fruits and veggies and I also added Farm Fresh Eggs to my order. The prices are great, there is no delivery fee, all the food I have eaten so far was absolutely amazing, and to top it off their customer service is outstanding. I have written emails in on three different occasions and each time I was responded to much faster than expected including last night when their representative Ashton replied to me email at 10:00pm on a Thursday night when their hours are Monday– Thursday from 7:00am –3:00pm.
I am so impressed by this company, I cannot wait to place my next order!

We’ve been using this service for a few years now and I’m really happy with it. I like that the bags are customizable.

I mean, this delivery service does everything I wish I had time to do for me. If I had time to grow my own vegetables, I would. If I had time to go to farmers markets, I would. I live down the street from a Weggmans, and even still I don’t have time to go there everyday, because I cook for myself too. So, if cooking, eating, and random household maintenance takes up your after-​work time, you owe it to yourself to get fresh, organic foods.
I’m so happy that I stumbled upon this service and I’ve told all my coworkers about it already. Keep up the great work Hometown Harvest!

I have done these sorts of home delivery of organic foods before, but Hometown Harvest is the best so far. The produce is amazingly fresh (and clean) and the add-​on options, like soup and applesauce, keep me out of Whole Foods (where I spend way more than planned on). You really need to try this. The website is easy to use and customer service is excellent.

I started using Hometown Harvest after purchasing a Living Social voucher earlier this year. It is extremely easy (and fun) to login to their website each week and place your order. They have also expanded their selection to include meats, breads, and dairy. I generally only order fruits and veggies and Hometown Harvest always has a good selection available. The prices are similar enough to the farmers market that the convenience and expanded selection makes this service well worth it.
When there have been customer services issues (needing to change an address, billing problem, was not satisfied with an item received), they are available by phone and email and have always promptly gone above and beyond to help me.
I am very excited about my order this week which includes Delicata Squash and Golden Beets. Welcome Fall!

I love Hometown Harvest (formerly South Mountain Veggies)!!! Ever since we started having fresh produce delivered my family has increased their consumption of the right foods! We always order the extras for our juicing and smoothies and having it delivered means less runs to the grocery store, which rarely has all the fresh, organic, non-​GMO items I am looking to buy. Our kids look forward to our bags every week especially when they help pick the items. All in all, everything is wonderful! This mom is happy a friend told me about it… makes my life so much easier and our eating habits so much better!

I love this service. Period. They make it easy to maintain a healthy diet full of fresh, local, and organic produce. Every Friday, their weekly menu pops into my inbox. Tuesday morning, I wake up to find «veggie Santa» has left a bag of goodies on my porch! The prices are reasonable. Sure, it’s more than you’d spend at Shoppers, but with Hometown Harvest you know you’re supporting small farms and local producers. The produce arrives fresh, clean, and ready to use. They are super clear about where the food comes from and how it’s grown. Their selection of other goodies is diverse and shows commitment to supporting local businesses (baked breads, small batch flours, pickles, honey, etc.). Also, the staff is awesome! They are very responsive. Any issues are addressed immediately by Abby or Tony.
