How One Box Helped Me Waste Less Food - A Review From Our Client

We sent our box over to a new subscriber of Fresh N Dish, after weeks into receiving fresh fruits and vegetables, Here's what they had to say!

"Before I found Fresh N’ Dish, my fridge was a graveyard of good intentions! Wilted greens, forgotten carrots, half-used herbs. I hated wasting food, but between a busy schedule and impulse grocery trips, it felt unavoidable.

That changed with one simple shift: switching to a weekly produce box.

Here’s how Fresh N’ Dish helped me waste less food (and feel better about what I was feeding my family):

**1. Just the Right Amount**
Instead of buying a random mix of veggies “just in case,” I now get a curated selection based on what’s in season. It’s enough to fuel our meals for the week no more, no less.

**2. It Got Me Planning (Without Even Trying)**
Knowing what’s in the box helps me plan meals around it. I don’t overbuy or guess. I just check the harvest update, jot down 2–3 meal ideas, and boom I’m organized without even meaning to be.

**3. Fresher Food Lasts Longer**
Since Fresh N’ Dish delivers straight from Ontario farms, the produce lasts longer than grocery store veggies. I’ve noticed my spinach doesn’t go slimy in two days anymore, it actually lasts the whole week!

**4. Fewer Guilt-Trips to the Compost Bin**
Less waste means less guilt. I compost when I can, but it feels even better when there's simply nothing to throw out. Using up every carrot, every apple, it just feels good.

**5. It Sparked Better Habits**
Once I saw how manageable healthy eating could be, I started prepping veggies right after delivery, storing them better, and even teaching my kids how to help."

Be the mom among the others! If food waste has been stressing you out, you’re not alone. But one box can make a big difference. Try it for a few weeks — your fridge (and your wallet) will thank you.
