Organic Subscription Boxes
An organic subscription box is a recurring order, so check two things before you sign up. First, how much of each delivery is certified organic: all of it, or only the produce. Second, the terms: what you will be charged, how often, and how to skip or cancel. Read both before you enter a card number.
What organic means here
Every item in a box has to meet the standard of its own department, which for food is the USDA Organic seal. This page lists subscriptions run by the company that grows, makes or packs the food, where it states its organic certification. Each caveat says which parts of a delivery the claim covers.
Look for
- "Certified organic" with the certifier named, such as CCOF
- Which items in a delivery are organic and which are not
- How to skip, pause and cancel, stated before checkout
- Delivery area, since farm boxes are often regional
- The price after any introductory offer ends
Be wary of
- "Organic" in the service name when only some ingredients are
- Free trial or first-box offers that renew at full price
- Add-on grocery items with no organic claim
- Cancellation that needs a phone call during set hours
Products that carry the certification
We have not tested these products. Each one was checked against the brand’s own page and the certifier’s records. Product links may be affiliate links: if you buy through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. How we choose.

- USDA Organic
- Clean Label Project
Variety packs of pouches, meals and snacks for babies, toddlers and kids that can be set up as a recurring order. The brand's home page states its food is USDA Organic certified, and its FAQ describes third-party testing through the Clean Label Project. The site says subscriptions can be canceled or adjusted anytime.
Good to know: Many products are refrigerated or frozen, so someone needs to be home for delivery. Organic certification does not address heavy metals. For a baby starting solids, follow your pediatrician's advice on what to offer and when.

A recurring box of seasonal fruit from a California orchard, delivered every 7, 14 or 30 days in three sizes. The farm's certifications page says it is certified organic by CCOF. The product page says there is no obligation and you can modify or cancel the subscription anytime.

Farm Box Home Delivery
A recurring box of fruit and vegetables that you can customize online. The service describes its produce as certified organic, and its organic page says the family farm is certified by CCOF under the USDA's National Organic Program. You can skip a delivery or change how often it comes.
Good to know: Delivery areas are limited, so check your address first. The organic statement is about the produce. Add-on farm products such as eggs, dairy, jam and honey are described separately, so check each one.

Green Chef meal kits
A weekly meal kit with pre-measured ingredients and recipes across several meal plans. Green Chef describes itself as the first CCOF-certified organic meal kit company and says its kits come with certified organic produce. Its home page says you can pause or cancel anytime.
Good to know: The organic statements name produce and proteins. They do not say every ingredient in every kit is organic, so read the ingredient labels in the box. It renews weekly until you pause or cancel.

Products with a photo are shown first; otherwise the order says nothing about quality. Certifications can lapse: check the certifier’s database before you buy.
What "organic" covers in a subscription box
A subscription is a delivery method, not a product, so it cannot be certified. The food in it can be. The question is how much of the food.
With a farm box, the answer is usually simple: a certified organic farm sends its own produce. With a meal kit, there are dozens of ingredients per week, including sauces, grains and spices, and the organic claim may cover the produce and proteins only. With a packaged food brand, each product has its own label.
The USDA's labeling rules set the tiers. A product sold as organic needs at least 95 percent organic ingredients, and a "made with organic" product needs at least 70 percent and cannot carry the seal. Our guide to reading a USDA organic label explains the tiers, and our organic meal kits page looks at kits in more detail.
Farm box, meal kit or packaged food: how they differ
If you mainly want fruit and vegetables, compare this page with organic produce delivery, which covers one-time and flexible orders as well.
| Type | What is usually certified | Ask before joining |
|---|---|---|
| Farm produce box | The farm and its produce | Delivery area; partner farms; add-ons |
| Meal kit | Named ingredients, often produce | Which ingredients are not organic |
| Packaged food brand | Each product, by its own label | Storage; who receives the box |
| Mixed grocery box | Varies item by item | Whether there is an organic-only option |
Read the subscription terms before the food
Subscription boxes use what the FTC calls a negative option: you keep being charged until you say stop. The FTC's consumer advice is short and worth following every time.
How to check the organic claim
- 1
Find the certifier's name
A certified farm or food company names its certifying agent. Both farms on this page name CCOF.
- 2
See what the claim is attached to
"Our farm is certified organic" and "made with organic produce" are different statements. Note which ingredients are named.
- 3
Look the operation up
The USDA's public Organic Integrity Database lists certified operations.
- 4
Check the first box
Look for the USDA Organic seal or the certifier's name on the packaging and on each packaged item.
Questions people ask
Is everything in an organic subscription box organic?
Not always. It depends on the service. A box from a certified organic farm is generally that farm's organic produce. Meal kits and grocery boxes often state organic for certain ingredients, such as produce, while sauces and pantry items may be conventional. Read how the service words its claim, and check the labels in your first delivery.
How do I cancel a subscription box?
Each service sets its own steps, and the services on this page say you can skip, pause or cancel. Find the cancellation method before you subscribe. The FTC advises checking the terms, knowing how to cancel, marking the deadline on your calendar and watching your statements. The FTC also says businesses must make canceling simple, and that this is the law.
Does a CCOF-certified company mean every item is organic?
No. Certification of a company or a farm means its organic products and handling are overseen by a certifying agent. It does not turn every item the company sells into an organic product. A meal kit company can be certified to handle organic food and still include non-organic ingredients. The product label, not the company's status, tells you about each item.
Are organic baby food subscriptions lower in heavy metals?
Organic certification does not measure heavy metals. It covers how ingredients are grown and handled. Some brands add separate third-party testing and say so. For what the FDA's Closer to Zero program covers, see our guide to heavy metals in baby food, and ask your pediatrician about variety in your baby's diet.
Is an organic subscription box cheaper than buying in a store?
It varies, and prices change too often for us to print them. Compare the regular price per delivery, not the introductory offer, and include delivery fees. Check whether you can skip a delivery without a fee in weeks when you do not need one. Our guide to eating organic on a budget covers where organic matters most.
