Lots of things! First, the food that you buy from FarmBox Delivery is much fresher and higher quality than the food you’d find at your traditional grocery store or other delivery companies since it’s not sitting around waiting to be purchased or traveling across the state to get to you. We do not keep inventory, we only order what we need for the boxes going out that week. This allows us to only deliver the very freshest groceries to you.

With FarmBox Delivery, you can search for exactly what you want and find it right away—plus you can browse the aisles and discover new products. And our recipes give weekly inspiration so you’re never stuck trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
Both FarmBox Delivery and Imperfect Produce let no produce go to waste. As a Zero-Waste company, FarmBox Delivery composts in-consumable produce and donates everything else to local food banks and supports the local community.

Our produce boxes are filled with produce grown on small to medium farms in Texas that use organic practices or are USDA Organic Certified. Our farm boxes contain a mix of local and non-local produce, and all non-local produce is USDA Organic Certified or sustainably grown. Many of the farmers from which we source have been in the FarmBox Family since we opened in 2013, and we help them plan their growing seasons in anticipation of what our customers enjoy. We are also able to purchase varied quantities of certain items, which can help farmers sell off their crops. FarmBox Delivery strives to be a zero-waste company and delivers using reusable boxes. 

Imperfect Produce sources from large farms, a mix of both conventional and organic, mostly in California, Mexico, and elsewhere in the world. Imperfect Produce packs their boxes in a warehouse in San Antonio and then ships them on a truck throughout Texas.  This means their produce boxes travel for many hours before they even arrive to Austin/Dallas/Fort Worth. Then the boxes spend many more hours being delivered across Texas to the door.  

For these reasons we believe we are the best choice for Texans when it comes to which delivery service you invest in and trust for your locally sourced and  sustainable grown groceries.
Our checkout process is unique in that there is no checkout button. Items placed in your cart will be automatically finalized at the cut off time of Sunday by 5:00 PM - prior to your delivery day and will arrive on your scheduled delivery day. Orders that do not meet the delivery criteria will be automatically cancelled after the cutoff time. (For delivery criteria, see "Do you offer free delivery")
Your experience is important to us.  We are proud to offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and if you are unhappy with a particular item, please notify us via phone or email within 5 days of receiving your order and we will be happy to arrange a credit or replacement item.

If we run into issues or delays delivering your box, we'll be in contact with you as soon as we can. Due to high demand at this time, you may experience delivery delays so please be patient with us and check the email associated with your account before reaching out about a delayed delivery!
We do our best to deliver on the promised delivery date, but there may be weeks when your order could be delayed. We currently deliver between 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM. If you have not received your delivery within that time, please reach out to us info@farmboxdelivery.com so we can look into it. 
We’re happy to recycle or reuse all of your packaging—just leave your boxes, thermal sleeves and ice packs by your door when you’re expecting a delivery and we’ll take them back.
Your delivery window is any time between 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM. We cannot guarantee delivery times.
Nope! we’ll gladly leave your groceries in a secure spot at your home or office, like inside an unlocked front gate or with the receptionist. All cold items are packed with reusable thermal packs so they'll stay cold while you’re away.

We highly recommend you place an ice chest with ice packs out on hot summer nights/days. This will help keep all your produce and grocery items fresh. Don’t have one? we’ve got you covered! Let us know, we have cooler bags available for free. We just require a deposit that is fully refundable.
The Large Boxes should serve about 4 people per week, the Regular Boxes should serve 2-3 people per week, and the Wee Boxes about 1-2 people per week (depending on diet, lifestyle and cooking habits).
We work directly with our local Texas farmers and foodmakers, which allows us to get their food to us (and then to you) in half the time of a traditional grocery stores or other delivery companies. That means better, more delicious food for you.

FarmBox Delivery believes in building local food systems. Encouraging our community to enjoy local food increases our food security as a nation and adds to the prosperity of our local economy. Local food also decreases the amount of greenhouse gases used to transport your food to your dinner plate.

FarmBox Delivery goal is to make local foods more accessible and convenient. Why should we not enjoy local food when it is quite simply the best food available? Remember there are working families behind every local food business including FarmBox Delivery. FarmBox Delivery is independently and locally owned. 

Local food is at the heart of everything we do, yet we also know that some household staples simply aren’t available from local sources. A home cook in Dallas will likely need lemons or olive oil, just as a cook in California may regularly use pecans. And everyone needs coffee.

The Funny Thing About Being 100% LOCAL We’ve realized that we’re most effective at helping our local producers grow their businesses if we can replace an entire trip to the grocery store for customers. Ironically, being too rigid about local sourcing actually hurts our local producers’ sales since customers have to go elsewhere for some items. So in order to grow local food systems, we supplement our local selection with some carefully-chosen products from a wider radius.
Almost all of our produce is grown with organic practices; many of our small family farmers do not have the resources to afford organic labeling on their products and therefore cannot be labeled as 'Certified Organic' under the USDA. On rare occasion we will source conventional produce (Which is always labeled accordingly) though this does not happen frequently.
FarmBox Delivery offers more variety, flexibility and convenience than a typical Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Because we source from many different farms, we can offer a broader variety of produce throughout the growing season. Unlike a CSA, you do not have to pay for the season up front, and you can skip a delivery or alter your schedule as needed. You only pay for the deliveries you receive. You can also customize your local produce box and let us know which fruits and veggies best satisfy your needs. Best of all, we come to you!
Yes, on the website you can see what components are going to be in your produce box for the coming week. Please note that the content list of the box is not 100% due to harvest complications that may arise and cause a last minute change in the contents. 

To remove recurring items and subscriptions, please contact our Customer Service department at info@farmboxdelivery.com. As long as this is done by the cut off time for your order, it will remove the item from all upcoming orders. If changes are made after the cut off time for your next order, the changes will go into effect with the following week's order.

We pick a delivery day for you based on your zip code. This allows us to deliver efficiently and reduce emissions. You can choose your deliveries to be scheduled weekly or biweekly. We start you out on a weekly subscription and you can change the frequency after signing up by visiting the 'manage subscription' page.

You can always skip a delivery if you’re headed out of town or are just drowning in produce (an enviable problem!).  To skip, Log In to your account, head to your Upcoming Deliveries page and locate the order you'd like to skip. Select the 'Skip Delivery’ link to the right of the delivery details.

We want your FarmBox groceries to fit easily into your life, which is why you can change or cancel your subscription without penalty. There's no contract or fine print to worry about. As long as you cancel before the end of the customization window for your upcoming order, you will not receive any further deliveries. 

In order to prevent food waste and keep our pledge to only offer the freshest food available, FarmBox Delivery does not keep an inventory from week to week. We only purchase what we need for the farm boxes going out that week. Therefore, we must have a cutoff time that gives us ample opportunity to purchase products from our local farmers and producers.
