Harvest2U has your goal in mind for healthy eating. There are 2 Personal Harvest sizes from which to choose - The Family Harvest and the Couples Harvest. As well, there are 2 types of Juicer Harvests specific for those that like fresh organic products for their juicing - The Green Juicer Harvest and the Fruit Juicer Harvest. Both Juicer Harvests come in Couples size Juicer Harvest also.
actual items may vary from picture
Family Harvest: Each Family Harvest will contain (depending on the season and growing conditions) between 10 and 14 varieties of items. An "item" may be a head of
romaine, a bunch of carrots, 3-4 tomatoes, 3-6 zucchini, a large onion, 3-6
oranges, a basket of berries, etc.
Couples Harvest: Each Couples Harvest will contain (depending on the season and growing conditions) between 8 and 12 varieties of
items.
Generally the Family Harvest will contain 25% more than the Couples Harvest.
In both the Family and Couples Harvests, our goal is to provide 1-3 different greens, 1-4 different fruit varieties and the rest a combination of mixed vegetables and herbs. This goal will not always be achieved as we are dependent on varying harvest seasons and weather conditions. Remember, with Harvest 2U your family will be eating local, organically grown produce.

The Couples Juicer Harvests are simply less quantity of the Juicer Harvests. Same farm fresh quality with the same items at a lower cost. Perfect for these recipes.
Every item in your Personal Harvest is selected by our Partner Farmers and hand picked for freshness. Most items you receive will have been picked within 24 hours of your receiving it. You can't get fresher than that! Please note that some produce is picked young for their flavor and tenderness. So some may be smaller than you might find in the grocery store - but their quality is much greater. With respect to the Juicer Harvests; in order to keep the contents as consistent as possible for your juicing recipes, there may be an occasion where an item or two is provided from outside what may be considered “local”. In any case, all Harvest 2U produce is always Organic. Another goal at Harvest 2U is
to provide your family with just the right amount of fresh locally grown organic
produce that fits your lifestyle and eating habits. Therefore we offer two
sizes of Personal Harvests and either weekly or bi-weekly (every other week)
Harvest service.
