There's weekly delivery available, although the exact delivery day depends on the area of service. You can also skip weeks as needed.

Imperfect Foods started out rescuing perfectly edible produce like too-small apples or irregularly shaped carrots that didn’t meet grocery store standards. It's expanded to offer pantry goods, snacks, beverages, and more, and there are plans to expand even more after it was acquired earlier this year by Misfits Market, who also specializes in surplus produce. Boxes can be customized to fit your needs and are delivered weekly or biweekly on an assigned day to help reduce carbon emissions; you can also skip weeks as needed. Imperfect Foods will also pick up used boxes for recycling when it drops off your next order.

The Fruit Guys have a charming origin story as a dot com-era San Francisco startup, delivering fresh fruit to Silicon Valley companies. Almost 25 years later, they are now shipping fruit across the country, but have expanded their offerings. Conventional and organic snack fruit boxes are still available, with more diverse fruit in its Harvest box plus an option for a mixed fruit and veggie box. Sizes are small enough for a single person or an entire office. You can do a la carte orders, or set up a subscription for delivery weekly, biweekly, or once a month. You can skip weeks as needed too.

• Price: Boxes start at $36. No subscription required (although available at no additional fee).

Talley Farms is a Central California-based farm that delivers to the West Coast, so the service area is much more limited than others on this list. It sources from its own organic farm as well as other partners, focusing on local produce first, and then organic when available. Boxes come in two sizes and are prefilled based on what’s growing that week, although you can customize your order for a $2 fee. Boxes are shipped weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and you can skip weeks as needed. Overnight delivery is available to most of California, with two day-delivery to the rest of the West Coast.

• Price: Subscription boxes start at $28. No subscription fee; cancel any time.
• Shipping cost: Dependent on area of service.
• Delivery area: West Coast including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
