Fighting Food Waste One Produce Box at a Time Tons of fresh, nutritious, delicious fruits and vegetables are wasted every day because they never even make it to the grocery store. Maybe they’re too big, too small, blemished or otherwise imperfect, at least in the eyes of the grocer. Or perhaps the farmer grew too much to sell. Whatever the reason, Now, this “rescued” produce is available to consumers through Hungry Harvest, a service that gathers freshly harvested food and sells it online via subscription. The Baltimore-based business, which delivers in Maryland, Washington, DC, northern Virginia, Philly and South Florida, has expanded to South Florida. We spoke with Evan Lutz, whose belief that no food should go to waste led him to co-found Hungry Harvest. And we unbox one of their organic mini-harvest boxes to find out what’s inside, and why it’s there. (Spoiler alert: It’s all fresh and delicious).
Evan Lutz, CEO and co-founder of Hungry Harvest, started out selling "ugly" and surplus produce from the basement of his dorm at the University of Maryland. Now, after a lot of hard work and a successful pitch on the TV show "Shark Tank," Lutz's business has distributed 3 million pounds of produce that would have otherwise been wasted simply because it wasn't pretty.
49 million Americans struggle to put food on the table everyday, which is about 1 out of every 6 people. The USDA defines this as "food insecurity" which means it is not lack of food, but rather the continued prevalence of poverty and inability to provide for ones family. Evan Lutz, CEO of Hungry Harvest, is taking a completely new approach in order to solve this problem. Yes, I know that is a monumental task and a bold statement to claim, but after you listen to this episode you'll become a believer in his movement. At 24 years old, Evan has already grown his business exponentially and plans to be activated in 25 cities within a year. His drive and determination are off the charts, which makes it clear why Forbes honored him with the coveted 30 under 30 for Social Entrepreneurs and he was featured on ABC's Shark Tank, Season 7 Episode 13, where Shark Robert Herjavec agreed to sign on with Evan as a partner.
