The Produce Box

TPB started in 2008 (when there were almost NO subscription or delivery businesses) out of a garage working with 1 farmer. Since then, The Produce Box has grown to 11,000 members, 50+ corporate and nonprofit partnerships that support more than 40 farmers and 60 artisan food businesses as well as many food-insecure families across North Carolina. And the TPB staff has grown too – from one stay-at-home mom in her garage to more than 150 moms and dads delivering boxes in the neighborhoods they live in.
