The Chef's Garden

The Chef's Garden grows food on their own farm, unlike other produce delivery businesses that obtain products from multiple farms. And, as their name implies, they supply produce to a number of restaurant chefs, so you can be assured that what you're buying has been approved by the pros. You have the option of subscribing to their Best of the Season box or ordering one of their other boxes (such as the Leafy Greens box) as needed.

How it works is as follows: On their website, you can order one of six different boxes—four ordinary produce boxes, a craft cocktail box with booze-friendly produce, and a greens box—and have it delivered anywhere in the United States.

If you choose the Best of the Season box, you can have it delivered once, once a week, or once a month.

The Best of the Season box is $89 for a small (1-2 people), $125 for a medium (3-4 people), and $175 for a large (five or more people) (4-6 people). For $59, you can purchase a seasonal vegetable box, and additional products range from $59 to $89.
